Theres the video file.
Now, download it and save it somewhere like "Documents"

Click on "Desktop background"
Hit "Browse"
Find the file, double click it and... Voi-la!

Wow, I wonder how much CPU that takes up? You notice any slowdowns with it? Thanks for the contribution!

Thanks, its doesn't really use much of the CPU, since when you leave the desktop (Open another window for example) it pauses the video, making it a still image just like a normal wallpaper.

Haha, As much as I would love to, I have no idea how, I may try, but... I don't own a mac so I won't be able to test it :D. Apparantly there is an app called "BackLight". Which might do the same thing, if it does just tell me what format you need the video in.
UPDATE:

A video is on youtube if you want to see it in action!
