anyone know of any dreamscene videos in 5040x1050 format? Harder to come by than 5040x1050 wallpapers, and those are hard enough to find...

Honestly, the number of TripleHead owners using Dreamscene being obviously a nano-minority, you'd be better off trying to make your own rather than finding such stuff. ;)

What? You mean people using the TH2G with vista ultimate is a small number? :roll:

Not to mention the fact that true 3840 video of anything other than a video-game or some sort of photo montage would be relatively hard to come by...

There is a reason why it's hard to come by, the horsepower required to render 5040x1050 video would be immense for 24-30fps standard. You'd see some really heavy cpu and gpu hits taking place for something like that.

I know, I was kidding. obviously it's not a big group.

I'm using one of the default videos at the moment, it actually scales just fine, it's just stretched. doesn't seem to slow anything down at all, but I have a lot of juice to spare right now.

No need for 3840x1024 files. Dreamscene videos are 1280x720 mpg files, ~10 to 30 MB each. What you'd need is a 3.75:1 video to start with. From there, goo-goole for tutorials on making custom animated wallpapers, using Dreamscene or not.

Go rent a red one :P

Record stuff

Edit it to the right res

Watch your CPU hate you for looping an insane high res video as a background



Alternative, record something on your computer with FRAPS or similar, so find something in a game you like that can be looped or reverse looped.

Dreamscene can play back 1080p just fine. My 1080p Dreamscene file was made form a collection of awesome 5040p (and other wide resolution) static wallpapers files I found.

They have black bars in the image, but when you tell Dreamscene to "Crop to Fit Screen" it almost looks correct aspect wise, correct enough that I dont care. 1920x1080 croppy looks a teeny blocky, but what can you do.

It adds about 5% CPU usage on a Quad core system and uses up about 60MB Ram. I got tired of looking at distracting massive wallpapers, so I dont use the file anymore. Would be nice for a trade show or something though.
