This is the tutorial i used to install ffmpeg and related stuff:
http://www.crucialp.com/resources/tutorials/server-administration/how-to...
under ffmpeg configure, this tutorial says to use command: "./configure --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libogg --enable-libvorbis --disable-mmx --enable-shared" BUT i could not use "--enable-libogg", so i removed and followed the rest of the instructions exactly as per the above tutorial.
it was working fine for sometime (creating thumbnails was working fine) but after a few auto updates(with youm -y update), the thumbnail creation stopped working.

there should be clues in your logfiles...
you can compare the output and see if a line such as this -ss 00:00:01 -t 00:00:01 -s 120x90 -r 1 -f is on there
