Installing a .mov file as screensaver

Thanks John for your help on the last question. I downloaded a movie or .mov file and tried dragging it into my screensaver library like I did the quartz file (which worked well) and I cannot find it in the screensavers. I did authenticate it. Help again please.

MacBook Pro 2.53, 4G Ram, 320G 7200 RPM HD, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

As far as I know, such files are not compatible with the screen savers as you will note if you navigate to a folder or event containing video clips but not photo images using the "System Preferences > Screen Saver" preview window.
