Hi! I am a rookie in this community and I'm not a linux expert.
However I am glad to give you my help.
Step By step boot video change for N900:
1- go to the repository menu of N900
2- Install ssh server on N900
3- ssh on installation will ask you for a password (choose one)
4- go to your main PC and download a free ssh client with a graphic interface (it's much easier to use for a newbie) like winscp.
5- in your N900 launch xterminal and type: sudo gainroot
6- in x terminal type then: ifconfig
7- ifconfig will show you r ip address (of course you MUST be connected to a wireless lan with your N900 )
8- open winscp and login to this ip address.
login:root password: your passord
9- go tho /usr/share/hildon-welcom/media and copy the boot video you want.
10- ho to /etc/hildon-welcom.d/ and copy default.conf to ypur PC
11-open in your PC default.conf with notepad and modify it with the name of the new video
12- save without changing name of the file
13- replace the file .conf in N900
14- disconnect and restart N900.
I'll hop on in in this thread to post a boot-up video i made during the night, i just made it into an .avi don't know if there's something special that's needed but here it is
I tried running your video and it chunked hardcore. Perhaps it has to do with the encoding? From within the OS it chunks the same in mplayer and mediaplayer.

hmm that's odd it's a regular .avi file but i'll look into it
anyone else that have tried the video? grr sometimes i hate living in sweden :P
Very cool video, and very impressed. Making it an app would be really cool and have it as a playlist, so we dont know what boot screen we're going to get.

Even though i hardly turn my phone off.
are you talking about my video or the thread author's videos?
and if you are talking about mine does it work on your device? not lagging like the other poster said?
