Will the Screensaver Factory software work in Windows 8?

And for that matter, will current screensaver files and exe files work in Windows 8?

Thanks!

Speaking of distributed computing, you should add a feature to the new release that allows our screensavers to partner with Plura Processing so we can make money while the end user has their screensaver running.

Whatcha think?

Hey Karlis,

Just wondering if you have any ideas when a new major update will be released for the Screensaver Factory, and if you have any ideas what my be included in it?

Thanks much!

Do any of those savers have the exit banner feature on, or that a url opens after the screensaver exits features on? Norton may consider that adware or something.

I've been thinking about ways folks can monetize their screensavers better. I think I've found a few good ideas: 1) When the screensaver is playing, it can show random banner ads from some html code we add into the Screensaver Factory application. Ads can be top, bottom, left, right, etc. They can ...

Any ideas when the clock and video looping features may be completed?

Thanks, Karlis!

I love the new clocks feature, but I don't think the clocks are working 100% What's happening is that the hour hand doesn't move at all until it is the next hour. So let's say it's 7:50. The hour hand is still completely on the seven rather than being almost to the 8. It just looks weird, like the ...

I have a few feature requests that would nicely enhance the screensavers. 1) Can you make the RSS Feeds be able to be clickable, so if the end user sees a feed that they want to get more info on, they can click it to go to the page the RSS feed message is pointing to? 2) Can you make it so the end ...

I'm nearly 100% sure that flash files don't skip, but my video files compile to a much higher quality, and if I want the same quality in a flash file, it just gets to be too large of a file, and can slow down a computer if it doesn't have enough resources. So, any other video formats that don't skip ...

Is there a video format that will work in the screensaver factory that won't have a little blip when it repeats? I love this software very much, and that's about the only thing I don't like about it. There are other far inferior screensaver makers that don't have a little skip when it repeats. It ...

My pleasure.

Here's some tools you can use:

Microsoft encoder is free, but a real pain in the rear!!

This one costs a bit, but well worth it!!

Good luck with it all!

I render videos into wmv format. It's the smallest, best quality file for screensavers that I've been able to do. I use this format because nearly 100% of end users should be able to play it. I don't see why any couldn't. When you start using codecs, like divx, the end user has to have the codec ...

It would be nice if the RSS feeds were clickable so it could take the end user to the pages the feed is showing.
