Looks like no one’s replied in a while. Does anyone know of a way to record any of the OS X screensavers as a movie file? I have Copernicus (a freeware program) but it doesn't seem to function with screensavers.
Back when CRT and plasma monitors were still a thing, screensavers served a purpose beyond just aesthetics: the moving images and patterns prevented static images from being burned into the display. While I was completely oblivious to their past benefits when I was a kid, I do have fond memories of sitting in front of the family computer, gazing at whatever screensaver popped up for hours on end. This was back in the days of Windows 95/98 when, and screensavers dominated computer displays.

In this guide, I'm going to focus on one of the most intoxicating Windows screensavers of yore—. I'm going to show you how to add it to your list of screensavers in Mac OS X for some classic Windows nostalgia. Step 1: Check Your Gatekeeper Settings If your Gatekeeper security settings are set too high, you may not be able to open the screensaver files below. So make sure that you've allowed for the, if you have not done so already. Step 2: Download XScreenSaver Now just download XScreenSaver from, either from or from. XScreenSaver contains the 3D Pipes screensaver, as well as over 200 others!
Step 3: Install Pipes Once you've mounted the DMG file, double-click on the Screen Savers folder, then double-click on the 'Pipes.saver' file. You'll be redirected to System Preferences, where Mac OS X will ask you to install the screensaver. (If you got a 'can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer' warning, see Step #1.).
