Hey guys, this is my first post on this website. I'd hate to start off like this but this question is somewhat urgent. On my website, I have a video playing from the server, but its black and I'd like to put a thumbnail on it, how do I go about that? My host is dreamhost if that matters. Thanks!

Thanks for the help, my code looks pretty different so I'm not sure where to place. Heres what my code looks like: <script type="text/javascript" src="https://media.dreamhost.com/mp5/jwplayer.js"></script> <div id="mvcontainer">Loading the player...</div> <script type="text/javascript"> jwplayer("mvcontainer").setup({ flashplayer: "https://media.dreamhost.com/mp5/player.swf", file: "http://www.example.com/video.mp4", height: 473, width: 840 }); </script>
you could use jquery, instead of putting videos in the page, just put their main picutres, when somebody clicks it jquery code runs and calls the video which then runs. This approach is used by youtube.
