Hello, I have downloaded a lot of great video backgrounds from Opera web brower's animated themes, but they are in webm format, Video ScreenSaver seems do not support it. I tried to set in ffdshow video decoder (libavcodec for VP8 format), but it didn't help. Is there any way to fix this?

  Hi there!
  
  The screensaver is using a MediaPlayer component behind the scenes, so it should support any video formats that the underlying MediaPlayer does. Recent versions don't use the DirectShow codec anymore, so try installing the Media Foundation components as well (http://www.webmproject.org/ie/).
  
  Otherwise, the quickest way to get those files playing may be to simply convert the file to another format.
  
  Cheers,
  Michael
