RevdKathy,
Steps 1-7 above are one time things that will enable other likely useful tasks. The results of 7 might change from time to time. Installing the ssh client/server package and setting root password is really only one step. (You have installed other packages and know the drill.)
I would also recommend getting both ssh client and server in one go (that is one of the repository choices).
This does not have to be done all in one sitting. Divide and conquer!

I'm afraid this video won't play anyway because it's in .mov format.

thanks for the replies, I did not know I had to make it a .avi 
anyone knows what compression for .avi is recommended?
I use a mac so it is more .mov friendly, and Quick time pro is not helping out much with .avi

do the videos need to have a specific length?
or can you also just remove them so no video plays at all?

I got it working on mine. Looks pretty good. I used SHAPE to change the container to AVI and change the aspect to 800x480 (your file is 900x480). Used h264 since that is what the Nokia default welcome is.
Also, rather than moving the config file to your machine to edit, in WINSCP, just right click the file and choose edit.
If anyone wants a copy, just shoot me a PM with your email.

Is it possible to just put symbolic links in the /usr/share/maemo-welcome/media folder and the actual video files somewhere else, for example in /opt/mybootvideos? This way it could be possible to keep lots of videos on the device without having to fear that root partition fills up. I don't want to test this myself since I don't know if the welcome system breaks the whole device if the video is behind symbolic link
