php – How do you get ffmpeg to convert a video, parse its thumbnail and then pass it back to Elgg in the file upload function?

I know my question is very specific, but I’m using the social media base (with WAMP) Elgg to create a Flash-based video sharing site for older browsers and computers and I was wondering how does one set up ffmpeg and Elgg in tandem so Elgg gets both a thumbnail and a video converted to FLV from an MP4 file someone uploads from their computer.

I’m using Elgg 1.9 and ffmpeg-20130314.

I couldn’t figure out how to inject ffmpeg into Elgg so I tried duplicating the upload form so it had two file upload buttons (second one for thumbnail image) but this broke the site and made a blank undeletable video.
