Change the locations in home.xml, and add new folders to the media/ folder.

If you're asking if you can play the video in the background of the menu then yes, while the video is playing, hit X go the main menu then hit black it should show up...

it is not a video, each of those images is a picture that is simply animated to be dispayed like a slideshow. See home.xml under the skin folder and replace the images under the media folder (again in the skin).

Moving to the skinning forum.

Check all folders inside the skin folder. If you're only seeing font.xml, that means the skin isn't designed to natively run at that resolution (although it still will).

For example, if you're using PMIII, look in the PAL or PAL16x9 folder, depending whether you use a 4:3 resolution or a widescreen resolution.

You are not understanding.

The skin files are in PAL, that doesnt' mean your runnign on PAL resolution. XBMC uses various fodlers for skin files depending on your chosen resolution, and MAPS from one to the other as needed. If you had files in NTSC it would use those, but since PM3 does not have files in NTSC, it uses the ones in PAL instead and maps them over to NTSC mode.
