Developers may need to tap into the conversion process and alter the conversion settings etc. depending on different circumstances. Here is an idea for a hook signature:

<?php

/**
 * This hook allows modules to make changes to a conversion job just before it runs.
 *
 * $input_file
 *   The path to the original file.
 * &$output_file
 *   The path where the destination file will be created.
 * &$configuration
 *   The FFmpeg Wrapper configuration array, containing all conversion settings.
 **/
function hook_ffmpeg_converter_alter($input_file, &$output_file, &$configuration) {
}

?>

Thoughts?

Yes, wold be nice to have such a hook.

I'd like to see this in ffmpeg_wrappers ffmpeg_wrapper_convert_file. See #1236964: Make the module more extentable by providing alter hooks. And ffmpeg_converter could extent this function by using the alter hook.

See also #1236572: Use ffmpeg_wrapper_convert_file instead of ffmpeg_converter_convert.
