About Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) compatibility

If you're looking for a version of SaveHollywood that works on Mac OS X 10.6, please contact Apple and ask them when they intend to fix the regression they introduced in the 10.6 release of Mac OS X (rdar://problem/7181029 or rdar://problem/7219601).

I'm just waiting for this bug fix to hit the release button.

About SaveHollywood

This screensaver allows you to display QuickTime movies as a screen saver.

Some interesting points that you may not see immediatly are:

  • You can now play Flash animation as a screensaver.
  • You can use this screen aver to display marketing material and switch back to Mac OS X with the move of a mouse.
  • It can be a solution to watch QuickTime movies fullscreen.
Features:
  • You can either select a file or a directory to watch. If you select a file, the movie will loop. If you select a directory, files within this directory will be played sequentially.
  • You can also select multiple files and/or directories.
  • You can display a movie in its actual size or make it sized to the screen (with or without a border).
  • You can make the movie be mute (for the safety of your neighbors for instance).
  • You can choose the color of the background.
  • You can play the movie on the main screen only (if you're lucky enough to have multiple monitors).
What's new in this version

— New: Title & copyright can now be displayed at movie start or periodically.
— Note: Only English and French localizations available at this time.
