Upload videos with Paperclip, generate thumbnails, and send to S3 using delayed job

I never quite found one blog post that explained how to do all the things mentioned above, so I wrote one to help others out there. You can see it here

Aww man this tutorial would’ve helped me greatly couple weeks back. I spent hours trying to get paperclip working with delayed job.

Does anyone know if delayed job is better than resque? I heard github uses delayed job.

Github used to use delayed job, but they overgrew it so came up with resque which is redis backed. I’d say if your application isn’t going to have thousands of jobs waiting to be processed delayed job should suit your needs. I’ve tried to setup resque, its certainly takes a while, dj on other hand takes couple minutes.

I don’t think resque is that hard to setup, http://github.com/defunkt/resque has great instructions.
