1. The program that runs the boot video.

2 & 3. There's a very good tutorial here (but must register to see):

...or if you know some basic linux, it's simpler to just do this:

Use the browser to download the video to the phone.
Become root.
Do a 'cp' command to put the video in:

/usr/share/hildon-welcome/media

Then use vim or your favorite editor to do a quick edit to:

/etc/hildon-welcome.d/default.conf

Add a line for your new downloaded boot video and just comment out the original 'hands' video. Boom - done! I put claesbas' Maemo flyby video from the beginng of this thread on mine.
