[Dreamscene] Animated Wallpaper - Earth View from the ISS

===INSTRUCTIONS IN DESCRIPTION=== - For PCs running Windows 7 and Vista only!

A short clip of the International Space Station view of earth. They didn't give us enough footage for a clean loop but I made a decent fade, darkened the bright artifacts and slowed it down a bit. Feel free to tweak it for your own use.

=BACKGROUND INFO=
A hobby of mine is making animated desktop wallpapers (called Dreamscenes by Microsoft). This was an old Vista feature that you can enable on Windows 7 with a small utility (info at bottom). All you need is a decent quality video converted to Windows Media format (.WMV) using any number of free utilities. The trick is cutting the video so it loops cleanly and using a resolution as close as close to your desktop as possible. I don't create the video content I just modify/tweak it to loop better and sometimes clean up/improve the colors/artifacts. This is one of my...adjustments. Hopefully you read this but I'll try to answer any questions not covered.
