Hi there I'm interested in the flashy visual effects that are used in apps like winamp and media players, just wondering if you have any links to how fast great looking effects can be achieved?

I think I could get a simple effect just by not clearing the back buffer to get a blurring effect but how about real time blur or scroll would I need more buffers or even draw to a 3d terrain texture and distort it?

Or are shaders used to create these effects!

They're usually a render to texture effect.

And/or use a particle system.
