1. How to Install FFMPEG into your Linux PC system
Please liase with Software Packaging Manager applicable for your linux distro, debian based linux distro ( including Ubuntu ) using synaptic software manager with famous command apt-get or aptitude

• Since I used gentoo linux. emerge is powerful tools for installing software via portage
• In Gentoo linux, If we swicthed on ffmpeg use flag either globally or locally, ffmpeg package will be automatically installed
• Otherwise we need to install .... Just emerge
# emerge -DNuq ffmpeg [enter]

2. FFMPEG Create Boot Splash for smart phone device

• Grab or make one up a JPG, JPEG, PNG image file on your device resolution size
• Put somewhere in the folder within your login user folder ( Just for easy )
Let say we put an jpg image with size 540 x 960 px in a folder /home/user/splash I made one for htc sensation, thus for easy remember I put name for image is sensation-splash.jpd
$ cd /home/user/splash
$ ls
sensation-splash.jpg

• Real FUN .. run a command in terminal within splash folder where jpd image stored
$ ffmpeg -i sensation-splash.jpg -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 sensation-splash1.img [ enter ]
$ ls
sensasion-splash.jpg sensation-splash.img

• File named : sensation-splash.img is flashable image splash1 for your "htc device" via fastboot

3. Flashing Boot Splash into Device
• Your device must be S-OFF to safely flashed this image via fastboot
• I personally DID NOT TRY on Locked bootloader device, but unlocked bootloader will ensure for safe
• Boot device into fastboot state
$ fastboot flash splash1 sensation-splash.img [enter]
sending 'splash1' (1012 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.163s]
writing 'splash1'...
OKAY [ 0.367s]
finished. total time: 0.530s

$ fastboot reboot [enter]


• Your device should reboot with NEW BOOT SPLASH
