Great, the one nice thing about ffmpeg, and even IM, is they work on
just about EVERY format imaginable.

Just an FYI,
Cold Fusion 8 has an image resize function built-into the server.
So, no need for image magik! There are also some video plugins to
turn videos into thumbnails using Adobe Premier 8 on the server
that links with CF 8 as well.

I think most video producers will want to control the poster image
for a video. Youtube for example, takes a frame from the middle of
a clip, which means you have to pad the video in order to get the
desired frame. That's a pain.
Any producer can easily grab a single frame from their video. Then
you can use ImageMagick to resize it as needed.

I looked into ffmpeg and it’s a monster to install and configure
properly. On top of it I have to recompile it on the server end to
capture a frame and then turn it into a thumbnail.
Since I don’t have a week to figure it out, the customer will have
to upload their own thumbs until something better comes out.
And, WiTango really doesn’t like external actions much either. My
experience has been that WiTango is waiting for the action to
finish, even after the action is finished. So, basically it waits
for the bus, the bus comes and leaves and it’s still waiting for
it! That’s what causes the server to hang and not respond anymore.
Imagepick is another hard program to understand, install, and
configure. I have CF components from Adobe Exchange for CF that do
the image resize much simpler. I wish there was a WiTango exchange!

ffmpeg, like imagemagick can be used from just about any
application server with some work. You have to be careful calling
out external actions like these though, I have found that it can
cause witango server to enter that, "I am crashed, but you can't
tell state".

Hey list viewers,
I’m wondering if there is a software out there that will create
screen caps (thumbnails) from videos. I am creating a site that
users will upload videos to, but it would be cool if thumbnails
could be created on the fly instead of having the site admin create
the thumbnails himself with a desktop software.
Thanks!
Rick
