Extend PicPick to work with FLV Flash movies

Some days ago I used my PicPick photo gallery script to publish some pictures I made on a wedding on the internet and give the other participats the option to add the photos they made to the gallery.

So far it worked as expected. I placed the PicPick script as index.php at a folder of my webspace and uploaded the original JPEG files without resizing and reducing the quality of them to the same folder. What is quite impressive is the speed of the ondemand resizing and optimizing of the original image to "web ready" images. I decided to go for 4 columns and 5 rows which makes 20 pictures per page. Using this amount of pictures per page together with an images size of approximately 8MiB requires arround 10 seconds to load the page. So it's working fine

Now I was asked if I add the video I made on the wedding to the webspace. Yes for sure uploading a video is quite simple, but I would be more fun if there is an website presenting this video a little bit. And here we go: I think it is a nice option if PicPick could simply take care about presenting videos stored as a flash video, FLV files, into the table presenting the pictures.

The next time I find some free minutes to test this I will add this option to a new release of PicPick. I think it is time for an other release including some bug fixes as well.
