There's a thread about this already. Couldn't tell you where it is though.

Well I uploaded it once, so no harm doing it again I guess.

This is the one based on the BBC News national titles NOT the one seen on BBC World!!!

Right click - 1.17mb

Isn't it possible to make one in Flash and then convert it into a screensaver? Maybe someone has the knowhow!?

My PC would explode if I tried to capture video 800x600 and then convert into a screensaver!!

but I'm sure I've seen a quite nice Flash-version of the BBC World countdown. It was something like that I was thinking about...

Well, I've converted MDTA's Flash version of the BBC News Titles into a screensaver... but I'm not going to upload it without his permission. So watch this space!

I wish I was as 'loaded' as you Asa, with all this software and access to such great programs! Don't worry, I will be one day. It was a long time ago since you last uploaded the screensaver.

sorry but why when i use the screensaver does the film stop after one play and is the screen size distorted?
