Movie screensaver

Does anybody know a screensaver for Mac which simply plays movie files, like MPG or RM? (I can find them for flash files.)
Apparently "electric sheep" are in MPG format, but it seems it must be a special format, for when it plays ordinary MPG films, they are full of errors and artefacts.

... I have to say that Electric Sheep are pretty, and has a lot of variety, which is important to me, I get bored very quickly. They are not really rendered for a 30-inch screen, but from a couple of meters away they look great.

A 30 inch display. Yes life can be tough sometimes.Perhaps you can run two versions of the sheep program at the same time. My sheep program uses Mplayer to display the sheep.
