Using VLC Media Player
使用VLC Media Player
Users of all versions of Windows 7 & Vista can enable a DreamScene using VLC. Recently, we showed you how to set a video as your desktop wallpaper in VLC. Since DreamScenes are in MPEG or WMV format, we will use the same tactic to display them as desktop wallpaper. We’ll just need to make a few additional tweaks to the VLC settings.
所有Windows 7和Vista版本的用户都可以使用VLC启用DreamScene。 最近，我们向您展示了如何在VLC中将视频设置为桌面墙纸 。 由于DreamScenes是MPEG或WMV格式，因此我们将使用相同的策略将其显示为桌面墙纸。 我们只需要对VLC设置进行一些其他调整即可。
You’ll need to download and install VLC media player if you don’t already have it. You can find the download link below. Next, select Tools > Preferences from the Menu.
如果还没有VLC媒体播放器，则需要下载并安装它。 您可以在下面找到下载链接。 接下来，从菜单中选择工具>首选项。
Select the Video button on the left and then choose DirectX video output from the Output dropdown list.
选择左侧的“视频”按钮，然后从“输出”下拉列表中选择DirectX视频输出。
Next, select All under Show Settings at the lower left, then select the Video button on the left pane. Uncheck Show media title on video. This will prevent VLC from constantly showing the title of the video on the screen each time the video loops. Click Save and the restart VLC.
接下来，在左下方的“显示设置”下选择“全部”，然后在左窗格中选择“视频”按钮。 取消选中在视频上显示媒体标题。 这样可以防止VLC每次视频循环播放时都在屏幕上不断显示视频标题。 单击保存，然后重新启动VLC。
Now we will add the video to our playlist and set it to continuously loop. Select View > Playlist from the Menu.
现在，我们将视频添加到播放列表并将其设置为连续循环。 从菜单中选择查看>播放列表。
Select the Add file button from the bottom of the Playlist window and select Add file.
从“播放列表”窗口底部选择“添加文件”按钮，然后选择“添加文件”。
Browse for your file and click Open.
浏览您的文件，然后单击“打开”。
Click the Loop button at the bottom so the video plays in a continuous loop.
单击底部的“循环”按钮，使视频连续播放。
Now, we’re ready to play the video. After the video starts playing, select Video > DirectX Wallpaper from the Menu, then minimize VLC.
现在，我们准备播放视频了。 视频开始播放后，从菜单中选择“视频”>“ DirectX壁纸”，然后最小化VLC。
If you’re using Aero Themes, you may get a pop-up warning and Windows will switch automatically to a basic theme.
如果您使用的是Aero主题，则可能会弹出警告，并且Windows会自动切换到基本主题。
If looping one video gets to be a little repetitive, you can add multiple videos to your playlist in VLC and loop the entire playlist. Just make sure you toggle the Loop button on the playlist window to Loop All.
如果循环播放一个视频有点重复，则可以在VLC中将多个视频添加到播放列表中并循环播放整个播放列表。 只要确保将播放列表窗口上的“循环”按钮切换为“全部循环”即可。
Now you’ve got a nice DreamScene playing on your desktop. Another cool trick you can do with VLC is take snapshots of favorite movie scenes and set them as backgrounds.
现在，您已经在桌面上播放了一个不错的DreamScene。 您可以使用VLC进行的另一个很酷的技巧是为喜欢的电影场景拍摄快照并将其设置为背景。
When you’re ready to go back to your old wallpaper, maximize VLC, select Video and click DirectX Wallpaper again to turn it off the video background. Occasionally we were left with a black screen and had to manually change our wallpaper back to normal even after turning off the DirectX Wallpaper.
当您准备好返回到旧墙纸时，请最大化VLC，选择“视频”，然后再次单击“ DirectX墙纸”以将其关闭以关闭视频背景。 有时，即使关闭了DirectX墙纸，我们也只能黑屏，并且不得不手动将墙纸改回正常状态。
Note: Keep in mind that using the VLC method takes up a lot of resources so if you try to run it on older hardware, or say a netbook, you’re not going to get good results. We also tried to use the VLC method in XP, but couldn’t get it to work. If you have leave a comment and let us know.
注意：请记住，使用VLC方法会占用大量资源，因此，如果尝试在较旧的硬件或上网本上运行它，将不会获得良好的结果。 我们还尝试在XP中使用VLC方法，但无法使其正常工作。 如果您有任何评论，请告诉我们。
While the DreamScene feature never really caught on in Vista, we find them to be a cool way to pump a little life into your desktop on any version of Vista or Windows 7.
虽然DreamScene功能从未真正在Vista中流行，但我们发现它们是在任何版本的Vista或Windows 7上为桌面注入些生命的一种很酷的方法。
