Hello, I'm looking for a way to automatically process and display a couple of thumbnail sizes when video is added to a node. More specifically, a larger one for a preview in the player, and a much smaller thumbnail link. I'm wondering if anyone could give me a direction of how to do this.

Here are two ideas that I have, but not sure on:

1) FFmpeg - can I make it process two thumbnail sizes and attach them to the node along with the video via Flashvideo (or something else)?

2) Imagecache - I know that Flashvideo can use Filefield CCK. Is there a way to get these over to Imagecache somehow and then display a smaller thumbnail?

3) Any other ideas?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm attempting to go the 2) route. I can't find code to reliably extract the thumbnail url for Imagecache using the standard Upload module attachments. Would I be able to do this better using Filefield attachments. Or anyone else have any better ideas?

Using FlashVideo with the FileField module should work for this. Let me know if you have any issues getting it to work.

Thanks,

Travis.

Hi Travis,

In trying to get this to work, I ran into what appears to be a weird bug, listed here:
