Since I am unable to install ffmeg binaries on my machine I trying to manually upload thumbnails of my wmv's to home/public_html / gallery2 / g2data / thumbnail / and the upload fails and the following message is shown:{553-Can't open that file: Permission denied
553 Rename/move failure: No such file or directory.} My permissions are set to allow this im sure. So Im stuck. Any answers?

you shouldn't manually put anything under your g2data directory. you want to do "edit movie", "general" tab and upload your thumbnail there. (make sure the thumbnail module is active first)

Ok I forgot to say that I have all 4 toolkits 3 are activated and the ffmpeg still needs to be configured. I have the ffmpeg folder in my domain on the host's server at the following location: / public_html / gallery2 / modules / ffmpeg /, my next question is because to configure it in the gallery site administration I have to give the path to the ffmpeg binaries, but in the ffmpeg folder are 5 folders ,(classes, locale, po, templates and test) and 4 files, (AdminFfmpeg.inc, MANIFEST, and module.inc) which of these contains the ffmpeg binaries? I have tried to enter the path and then test a bunch of ways but I am getting a failed test because I don't know which sub folder or file in the ffmpeg folder the actual ffmpeg executables are. Does anyone know the correct path to put into the box when configuring the ffmpeg binaries

the ffmpeg module in G2 is not ffmpeg
you must locate or install the ffmpeg binary and give the path to it.
