    Hi,
    I want to know,
    If I have this video, for example,
    http://www.megavideo.com/?v=1T2A5YA0

    How I can pull out thumb of the video?

    *Mods, I hope that this is the best forum for this question.

    Regards.

    What video format?
    if your server has ffmpeg installed you could use a command such as the following
    ffmpeg -i test.avi -ss 1.4 -vframes 33 -f image2 output%2d.jpg

    
<?php
$video = "/var/www/movies/myvideo.avi";
$output_images = "/var/www/movies/thumbnails/myvideo%2d_thumb.jpg"
$output = shell_exec("ffmpeg -i ".$video." -ss 1.4 -vframes 33 -f ".$output_images");
$thumbnails = shell_exec("ls /var/www/movies/thumbnails/myvideo*");
$thumbs = explode('\n',$thumbnails);
foreach($thumbs as $image){
echo "<img src=\"/movies/thumbnails/".trim($image)."\" alt=\"myvideo\"><br />\n";
}
?>
    Code (markup):
