If you recall, there was a patch produced to determine if an older version of ffmpeg was being used and automatically take care of this. The patch worked.

I have tried the module on 5rc2 using HEAD and entered the details in ffmpeg helper, but I get the same old illegal offset problems that were resolved with the above mentioned patch. Either I am doing something wrong (entirely possible) or it is not handling older versions of ffmpeg as it should. The sample given on the ffmpeg helper page where vframes is replaced is copied into the required field and this simply does not work.

Love the way this module is heading, but the resolution to using older versions of ffmpeg appears to have been changed from the patch that resolved the issue.

The video module version for Drupal 5.0 allows you to set the options of ffmpeg to produce thumbnails.
By adjusting those options to your version you should be able to get thumbnails from videos.

I know, but I entered the options in exactly the same way that the previous patch gave and it did not work. In other words, the previous patch gave a line with the options - this worked when used in the patch. I put exactly the same line in the new box and it didn't work.
