Sept. 15, 2007: CoFu with xwinwrap and mplayer

NOTE: The performance is not actually this jerky. The reason this video suffers from a poor framerate is because of the resource strain from simultaneously playing the video _and_ recording it with gtk-RecordMyDesktop. When not recording, everything is smooth.

I'm using the latest version of Compiz and Compiz Fusion from Git (as of the date in the title of this video). The command I ran to have the video playing in the background is as follows:

xwinwrap -ni -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- mplayer -wid WID -nosound -loop 0 FILENAME_HERE

(Replace "FILENAME_HERE" with the full path to your video. Also, you can remove the "-nosound" argument to mplayer if you do want the audio from the movie to play.)

Compiz-wise, I am using the Wall plugin with a 2x2 viewport layout. The wallpaper is "Heading West" by VersonPhoto and can be found here:

I used GIMP to crop out the largest possible region of the wallpaper (at the highest resolution available) at a 4:3 ratio, then sliced that into quadrants, which were then resized to 1024x768 (my screen resolution). These were then set using the Wallpaper plugin.

Oh, and if you're curious, the video I'm watching can be found here:
