Screensaver to memory card help

We've just bought an electric fire that has a memory card in it, it shows different scenes.
I've managed to put some photo's onto a new card & these work OK on the fire screen.
I have a lovely marine aquarium screensaver but don't know how to get it on the new memory card.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

    You have not given any details about this 'electric fire' but it sounds like it can display pictures like a photo frame and not run an application like a screen saver program

    Thanks for answering so quickly.
    I'ts a Dimplex Living Art electric fire with an lcd screen. The remote can go through several displays on the fire but I just wondered if I could put my own display on it.
  • if it is like this one

    That's the one.
    My marine aquarium screensaver is better that the tropical fish one on the fire.

    You would have to remove the compact flash card from the fire and see what type of video files are on it. You could then either use a different card with a new video file on it or add it to the existing card. You will not be able to use a screensaver.

    Thanks everyone for answering.
    I will look at the card that's in the fire & see what's on it and then see if I can get a video of a marine aquarium.
