I want to make my video to be a screensaver.

Is there any software to make it?

It's possible the AniBG project will give you what you want :

This UbuntuGuide article has step by step instructions.

your answer doesn't actually refer to what he asked - I'm confused as to how he marked it as answered. Karthick's link is the correct answer. – RolandiXor♦ Jan 15 '11 at 14:38
Karthick didn't answer, unless you mean his comment. His comment refers to a hack using mplayer from 2009. AniBG is an actively maintained project to "put videos and screensaves on your desktop" and has a one-line installation. Not sure where your confusion arises from? – Scaine Jan 15 '11 at 15:21

Firstly Copy-Paste this into the address box in your browser apt:libgle3,xscreensaver-data-extra,xscreensaver-gl-extra then download This and this and install the two .debs.

Now Go to Applications->Accessories menu and open AniBG. Now adjust your preferences from the indicator on top left.
