Color Me Video compares to other Video Wallpaper alternatives

During the research there were many other examples of how to achieve video wallpaper using various methods. It was found that none of these methods worked as flawless as finding a compatible media player, using hardware overlay feature and the media player's video overlay color.

DreamScene Review

DreamScene is the most popular software available and is only available for Windows Vista Ultimate operating system. One major drawback of using DreamScene is that it can only use WMV and MPG files to view the video as desktop wallpaper. Using Color Me Video methods and the preferred player, VLC, video file compatibility increases to include DVD playback and most if not not all popular video files (AVI, AMV, MPG, etc) available today.

Video Wallpaper using Microsoft FrontPage Review

This method uses Microsoft FrontPage to embed the video file into a HTML file. The HTML file is then used with the Desktop Properties as the modified theme background image. This is effective but it also have it's limitations especially in comparison to Color Me Video findings. If FrontPage is not installed onto your computer, you can't use it this method. This method may use too may resources which may cause a hindrance your computer's performance if the computer does not have the appropriate hardware (RAM, processors, etc). Also, you can only play one video wallpaper at a time. You also have to set the video file playback size options using Frontpage. Using Color Me Video methods uses only the media player and the video overlay color.

Vista Rewired's DreamScene Method for any version of Windows Review

This method is one of the most popular alternatives. It also uses the VLC media player Wallpaper feature to accomplish the DreamSene effect. When testing this method, it did not exactly work as intended following the instructions as outlined in this tutorial. Using Color Me Video methods, you can accomplish video wallpaper with or without using the VLC Wallpaper feature.

DreamScene Alternative using BSPLAYER Review

This method using BSPLAYER which has not been reviewed for Color Me Video yet. It's still accomplishes the same effects that VLC offers. BSPLAYER will be tested and reviewed soon.
