i want to generate a thumbnail from a .mov clip in one of my albums.

i have ffmpeg installed and sucessfully tested within my gallery installation.

when activating the thumbpage module, i get the following message through gallery admin,

Thumbnail Page Module
This module requires an active graphics toolkit that supports either:

1. A multi-page file type such as TIFF, PDF or Postscript
Example: ImageMagick module with gs (GhostScript) support
2. A movie type such as Mpeg or AVI
Example: Ffmpeg module

i went on and sucessfully installed and activated the ImageMagick module, this allowed me to activate the thumbpage module without message or error, however i get no thumbnail tab in the edit movie page and there is no thumbnail created for my video clip. not even the very first frame. it just shows the default movie icon.

there is also no thumbpage options in the admin sidebar, is this normal ?

any ideas ?

My set-up is as follows,

Gallery version = 2.0.2 core 1.0.0.2
PHP version = 4.4.0 apache
Webserver = Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_jk/1.2.6-dev Sun-ONE-ASP/4.0.2 mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 PHP/4.4.0 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7a
Database = mysql 4.1.18-standard
Toolkits = ArchiveUpload, NetPBM, Exif, Ffmpeg, SquareThumb, Gd, ImageMagick

1. i suggest upgrading to 2.1, it's just easier for us to support the current release
2. what mime types did ffmpeg test report, and is the module now active?
