I can make Media Mover convert uploaded videos on my CCK custom node to flash, and store them in the filesystem.

Or I can make Media Mover create thumbnails of those same videos.

But as it stands, I can't make Media Mover convert the video files and THEN ALSO generate thumbnails of those same video files.

I've tried creating two configurations, one to do each action. Doesn't matter what order. When I test, the second config sees no files left to harvest because the first config has already done its thing.

I've also tried creating a config that starts with a convert video action, because in the current admin UI, when you do that it leaves the thumbnail settings available. I thought perhaps that would allow one config to convert video AND generate thumbnails, but apparently not.

I know this is a very early-stage release, but can you help me chain these two key actions together on the same set of video files? If it has to be a script administered outside Drupal, I'm OK with that -- I just need to get it working. Thanks!

I would also like to see this and the possibility of generating a thumb if the file is not just on the S3 server but encoded using the new amazon cloud EC2.

I would donate for this it would be fantastic.

I've done quite a bit of updating to the harvest logic, so it should be able to do exactly this. The way you'd do this would be:

1) setup a configuration to convert videos
2) setup a configuration to create thumbs from the originals

if you want to create thumbs from the converted, you have to adjust where you harvest from.
