Anyone got any decent dreamscenes worth sharing?

I finally bothered to install MS Dreamscene for the hell of it last week and was wondering if there are many other Dreamscenes out there (mpg I know) without having to make a few of my own.

don't bother. Dreamscenes that have high-enough resolutions to look decent will take up HUGE amounts of ram.

when i was using a 1920x1200 .MPG (50MB file), Explorers memory usage went from about 50MB to 350MB, and the cpu was constantly at 20% utilisation. (Q6600 at 3.2GHz)

DO bother. Looks like the new ATI Stream due 10 December will dump this from the CPU to the graphics card, enabling full HD with no significant CPU overhead.

Now that is interesting, as Dreamscene is currently a waste of time.

You can play any mpg clips in Dreamscene so you could have desktop pr0n

or any other clip.

I'm suprised you got this many replies before something like this was said! Good old pr0n.

Dreamscene doesn't take up as much memory on my machine, not usually much more than the vid itself, and i've found CPU usage to be about 1-3% with it on and idle. Still don't use it though, it gets annoying.
