Thanks,
Did not read the whole thread...here are some info may be useful,

1) there is a gui on emelfm2, install it and it allows, file copying and renaming, etc, all like windows explore type graphic user interface. install instruction here,

2) Midnight Commander would do the same tricks as 1), both emelfm2 and MC are very powerful filemanager with a simple text editor

Or sometimes, one can dl files to your window desktop and change names etc before transferring to your N900. I use openSSH and winSCP to take care things like this.
step by step here

just set up the flyby video as well, looks really cool.

But it too ages to do, had to install MC get root, backup & rename some files useing the standard file manager.
Then overwrite the file with the new one.

Surely it shouldn't take like 10 min.

Everything can be done in a minute using the terminal.
I became root:
root
Then change to the directory where I want the file:
cd /ush/share/hildon-welcome/media/
Then download the file:
wget http://castus.dnsalias.com:8080/shar...id_lame_r3.avi
Then edit the config:
vi /etc/hildon-welcome.d/default.conf
And in there edit the filename to the video.
Then reboot to see your new video.
For this to work you need rootsh to become root only by typing "root", and wget to download the file through commandline.

I've got a little clip that I'd like to put on there that I can't get to play for some reason.. it's h264/MP3 audio just like the original Nokia movie, but for some reason, it's just a black screen when I load it onto the device..

Anyone have any ideas? Are there specific encoding settings that have to be used? Does it need to be 800x480?

I really like the "bright" video, but I don't want to have my N900 playing any sounds on startup, so I made a silent version with no audio track. In case anyone else wants a silent video, this command will do the trick:

ffmpeg -i maemo_bright_xvid_lame_r1.avi -an maemo_bright_silent.avi
