Yeah, I would quite like to see some other options for the boot video other than the quite literally paternalistic default one. Nokia is quite often accused of being arrogant and the default video doesn't exactly help. A lot of people were royally pissed off about Nokia's condescension towards the developing world in their CES presentation.

Thanks. Keep it up!
I'm using this now. I suggest that you modify it a bit to have a proper fade out because it ends so abrupt.

'filename = the video file you want'
In this way, when you want to revert, you just have to 'uncomment' the 2nd line, original file, and 'comment' out the 3rd line, your file.
I would move out the Hands file somewhere else to save precious space.

What are the 'accepted' encoding settings for a boot video? I've got one that I'm trying to get working, but when I upload it to the device, all I get is a blank screen..
So far I'm encoding as an h264/AVI with MP3 audio, so I can't quite figure out what's wrong, but video isn't my area of expertise.. does it have to be 800x480 or something?
TIA

I use xvid avi codec. I even increased the resolution and it worked.
Program used: iMedia converter

This boot video is made by Nokia and was used on the Maemo 5 videos which can be found on maemo.nokia.com.
All I did was to trim/convert the video so it can be used as boot video for our devices.
How to install:
PREVIEW OF BOOT VIDEO: MAEMO.AVI
1) Download default.conf and maemo.avi OR muted version: [ default.conf & maemo_muted.avi ]
2) Copy these files on your N900's Documents folder
3) Open xterm and type (rootsh required):
PREVIEW OF BOOT VIDEO: MAEMO2.AVI
1) Download default.conf and maemo2.avi
2) Copy these files on your N900's Documents folder
3) Open xterm and type (rootsh required):
Quoting him:
"Be careful not to delete the movie file in opt. I don't know what happens if it fails to find a boot video... hopefully nothing at all, but i don't want to test".
If you want to revert back to the default nokia boot video(Hands-v32-h264.avi) copy this default.conf
to your N900 Documents folder, open xterm and type:

Boot Videos: [ Maemo 1 & 2 ] | Matrix ]
