Anyone recommend a freeware screensaver maker that will allow me to add
photos, sound and especially video (mpg)?
I have a small mpg birthday greeting which I would like to make into a
screensaver.
Ideas/recommendations anyone?

2Flyer Screensaver Builder is a Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP tool which
lets you make your own screensavers. Collects up to 1000 JPG/JPEG, GIF,
BMP or WMF, EMF images and 2flyer will merge them into a Screensaver
Adds MP3, WAV or MID sound and music files to your screensavers to be
played while the images are displayed Displays images with 240
transition effects - as many as you can imagine Creates a single .exe

your friends at any time.

Dcat Screen Saver is a screen saver which allows you to use your own
images and audio. Version 1.41 supports MP3 files and Wave audio files.
You can create a list of your own transitions from the 81 available
transitional effects. Images and the Transition effects can be shown in
alphabetical order, list order, your own list order and your own list
randomly or with no transitions at all. The screen saver can be set to
cover the full desktop or run in a window. The Screen Saver has the
ability to shut down/restart the computer or log off the current user.
The screen saver can be sent to the Traybar when not required. The last
image displayed can be set as the wallpaper. The Audio capability has
been greatly enhanced with several ways to manipulate the Audio for
best effect. </quote>

But do they do video (mpg)? I tried 2Flyer and the one I have does not
do video, only audio and pictures.
Seems I am missing something. On their webpage (http://www.2flyer.com/),
it is only in the Pro version that you buy that you can do video.

You're right. They don't do video. I went 15 layers of 20 hits in
Google to find ONE free one. No luck. There is
alt.binaries-screensavers on this ISP. But I don't know what group they
communicate through.If you like Spam there is this:

Besides that I don't know. Sorry. But if you find one let us know.

From my "not yet listed" archive:

http://www1.vobis.de/bbs/shareware/brett75/avimpg2.zip ~952Kb
Avi/Mpg Screensaver Displayer - Randomly view your own MPEG or AVI videos
as a screensaver. You can adjust the size of the videos playing, and you
can even stretch them full-screen if you wish. If the mpg or avi videos
contain sound, that will play too! Other options include changing the
background colors, playing a midi or wav sound file, and repeating the
sound file.

Enjoy!

RATS at least three sites said it was freeware...

Sorry about that...

Try this one:
DVD PixPlay allows you to create VCD slide shows from images, videos and
music and write them directly to a CD. VCD's can then be played on your
television using a DVD Player. VCD's make it easy to share your images with
your friends and family, particularly those who do not have a computer. And
they are as easy to use as a normal DVD!

I believe FotoAlbum (PW2003) will *display* them as a screensaver, if
that's all that's required . . .

If you can make them into an EXE file which shows itself, rename the
file to have a SCR extension and that is your screensaver. Put it in
the \Windows dir I think. But a screensaver is just an EXE renamed to
have an SCR extension.

I've heard of that trick. It's never worked for me, though. I should
try again.
