We use ffmpeg_converter and ffmpeg_wrapper to convert avi and mpeg files to flv format. Sometimes people upload FLV files. "The file %file is waiting to be converted." message is displayed. And unless "Process files already in destination format" is set, the files just sit hidden from display. We created this patch to check during view that the file actually needs conversion.

Committed, thanks.
The remaining problem however is that files that don't get converted also don't get any snapshot images.

That is a great point. Hmmm. How about a create snapshot button? Maybe even a select time code... I might get on that today after an ubercart install. The site that uses the flv files doesn't use snapshots, but the current site we are working on could use the functionality.

Since the original issue is fixed, I created a new issue for this: #441348: Generate snapshots for files that don't get converted.
Please share your thoughts or, better, your code! Thanks.
