If anyone wants to do this, please email me at scorpioncapital@shaw.ca
Requires fast turnaround thanks.
Description:
Integrate Video uploading and thumbing to the Slideshow plugin.
Details:
1. Modify image1 field to autodetect .avi or .jpg extension on upload.
2. If .avi, call linux transcode to grab the (n)th frame (hardcoded)
transcode is a simple unix utility that grabs avi frames.
there is a perl api for transcode at http://www.lpm.univ-montp2.fr:7082/~domi/vob2divx/
BUT it does not contain the call to grab an image - easy to write.
May need to convert image from .ppm to .jpg. Should be easy to do.
There is also a whole bunch of other utilities you can use, whoever does this should just select some good solution for grabbing a frame froma Divx compressed AVI under Linux/Unix.

3. Populate the thumb fields of the plugin with the same size variations of the source image grabbed in step #2 above (i.e. this part just use the build-in thumbing functions).
Thanks
