I'm so close to making great screensavers! (help please)

Avi-Scr

I've been working in some 3D modeling software, and made some rendered animations that would be sweet screensavers. Although I've "googled" it, I can't find any software to convert my .avi into a .scr. Does anyone know of anything like that?

Yeah I found a lot of links also, (thankfully not too many stinks!) but when you actually look into them, they only work for 5 seconds or display a watermark over your screensaver. I was wondering if anyone had any luck with a specific program.

I wrote a program a few years ago that played a particular movie clip as a screensaver. If I could dust that program off and it still works, maybe I could help you out.
I'm just about finished with a program that will play movie files on your desktop background.

I got it figured out. I converted the .avi to flash, and then flash to .scr using a free tool called InstantStorm.
