Ok first please don't use that font or whatever its kind of hard to read.

And now about the flubber. The flubber is actually a mathematical sequence genrated each time at boot. Basically its just a bunch of mathematical equations. As of right now no one has been able to put their own intro in becuase then the bios's would be 2 or 3 megs at least. You can probably change some values and change the flubbers shape. (Like Complex did before they dissapeared off the face of planet earth) Basically editing the flubbers color is about all your going to be able to do as of right now. The only way I will ever see our own intro videos is if the bios plays some file off the xbox's hard drive. (However, this would be kind of hard because during the flubber is when the hardware, including hard drive, is being initialized.) The only thing I can tell you would be to try out UnleashX or MXM (I know at least one of them can do this) They can play a video when your xbox first goes to the dash. Turn off your ani and the logo and tehn enable this.

that is possible, but what about evolution x...thats my preferred dash, and it's drummerboi's too...(dont ask, we live around each other)...any other suggestions?

i have my own idea...what if you replace the evoxdash.xbe with a new evoxdash.xbe that will play a video, and then when it's done, then it redirects you to the real evoxdash? i would do this, but im not that handy in making xbe's

in unleashx go to your skin folder and put in <intromovie>yourvideohere.xmv</intromovie> somewhere in there ((mines right before <filemanager>)) if you change ur skin you have to update the skin.xml again

During the blank screen, the BIOS is doing all the inits and whatever else it has to do. That's one of the reasons why MS uses an intro video, to give you something to watch while the BIOS does its stuff.

the bios does infact initialize the system, it initalizes everything it needs to from the cpu to the gpu and everything in between, loads into the ram, and when the "MS" logo appears it means that the hdd has finally initialized (actually just barely before that the hdd is funtional) the bios intro matches the almost exact time taht it takes to actually load everything up

no, it takes time for the hdd to initialize, you aren't gonna get an instant boot
can you instaboot with your pc? hell even hybernate doesn't boot that fast

Animation: Flubber
Trademark: the TM sign to right of the Xbox logo
Xbox logo: The Xboc Sign (this is acually done by making it black)
Splash Logo: Is the MS or Xecutioner2 (depending on what bios you are using) sign that comes up in white under the Xbox sign
