+FFMPEG CONFIGURATIONS
+---------------------
+
+This helper module facilitates uploading new videos using the video module. It
+features a batch processing queue for videos to be transcoded and automatic
+thumbnail generation.
+
+Install instructions
+--------------------
+
+1. Activate the auto conversion and auto thumbnails when creating content
+2. Setup it's advanced options to meet your needs
+3. Move (or symlink) video_scheduler.php into your Drupal root
+4. Check permissions of the files and folders (/tmp/video and files/* must be
+writable by the webserver or the user executling the cron job)
+5. Schedule the execution of video_scheduler.php using unix cron:
+  
+  The crontab should look something like this:
+
+  # m     h       dom     mon     dow     user            command
+  */20     *       *       *       *       www-data        cd /absolute/path/to/drupal/ ; php video_scheduler.php http://www.example.com/path_to_drupal
+
+  This will execute the video_scheduler every 20 minutes.
+
+  Note that the video_scheduler doesn't produce any output and cannot be called
+  from the web. It will, however, put some information in the watchdog.
+
+
+
+Troubleshooting
+------------------------
+
+Configuring and installing ffmpeg in a web server environment might be pretty
+difficult. In order to help you troubleshoot the transcoding process the ffmpeg
+helper puts debugging informations on the drupal logs. I strongly suggest to
+have a look at them if you are experiencing problems with transcoding.
+
+The ffmpeg puts in the drupal logs the commands it was trying to execute. You
+might try to rerun them on a command shell in order understand what went wrong.
+
+Or contact a Drupal developer
