you could store all of those files in an additional folder ../dconfs (for example).
then write a script which deletes the current defaultX.conf in the hildon/welcome folder and randomly copies any of the configs in /dconfs back when shutting the system down.
this script could be stored in /etc/init.d/. then you have to symlink it to the correct rcX.d folder, i guess it would be rc0.d (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel).
ehm yeah... the script should then be executed when your system goes into halt?! o.O
and you'll always have a random video at (re)boot. ^^
edit: maybe it would be the best to change it on bootup with a rc2.d script
EDIT: THAT'S MY FINAL SOLUTION FOR HAVING RANDOM BOOTVIDEOS ON STARTUP AUTOMATICALLY -> http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...5&postcount=35

On my end it could only play 2 videos on boot!
The 3rd and 4rd worked but only for sound..

that would be a quick&dirty script for replacing the default.conf
you have:
/etc/hildon-welcome.d/default.conf
and
/etc/hildon-welcome.d/dconfs/ <- new folder where the configs are named "1.conf", "2.conf", "3.conf" and so on.
the script determines the number of conf-files in the dconfs-folder and replaces the default.conf randomly with one of them

Hey Rolan900d,
I tried creating 2 default files.
default.conf
[hildon-welcome]
filename= (Hand boot screen)
And default2.conf
[hildon-welcome]
filename=short.avi
But It didn't work. Still shows only the Hands as intro and thats it.

you could also make desktop-shortcut which executes the script or only the code (as one-liner) when you want to have a another/random bootvideo next time. xD

Learning a lot over here, but you are out of my league mate!
@b66m:
That would be great; but I got lost on that script...
