wallpaper video player for linux

[Wik]

I am wondering if there is a wallpaper dvd player available for a linux desktop? I use mplayer to watch my dvds, and thought a wallpaper player might be pretty usefull and thought I seen a screenshot once of this.

You mean display video on your background?

mplayer -rootwin blah.mpg

Well using that I can hear the movie play, but there is no video output to be found anywhere. Here is the command I typed to play the dvd in my drive.

mplayer -rootwin dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/cdrom

so what did I do wrong?
