Hi guys. Currently, I'm trying to make a screensaver through an AVI. Right now I'm using Camstudio to change the file from AVI to SWF and then InstantStorm to the screensaver. The problem is Camstudio can't read the audio file for the AVI. I tried re-encoding with avidemux, but to no success. Is there a workaround for this problem or am I not using the right encoder?

Afaik, screensavers are not .swf but .scr files, which are plain executables. So use a tool to wrap your .avi in an executable and rename that one to .scr.

I've never tested the features, but maybe one of these will suit your needs:
1. Rad Video Tools
2. MakeInstantPlayer (download it from Lord Mulder's site)Das Leben ist eine Nebelwand voller Rasierklingen. (C. Bukowski) -
I tried MakeInstantPlayer and made it to an exe, but when I changed it to scr, the MPlayer would appear and ruin the screensaver. Rad Video Tools seem a bit fishy from Virustotal scan results: https://www.virustotal.com/file/fbcadd92368c6fdddf670a943a8eacf1cfb896b7a727c41231892d...is/1352231455/
EDIT: I guess what I need is a good program that can convert AVI to SWF without losing quality. Any help is appreciated.Last edited by lilmunkxd; 6th Nov 2012 at 14:18.

So, when you set your .exe/.scr as screensaver in the Win config dialog, MPlayer will show? Hmm
Also, that VirusTotal report is most likely not what it seems to be. Just a bunch of false negatives. I'd give RVT a go.
I dug up some other tools. alas most is payware. Could be you want to give them a try...
1. Ultra Screen Saver Maker
2. InstantStorm
3. AVI/MPG/WMV Screensaver Creator
