Is there any way to generate a thumbnail image of a Flash movie (SWF) in
PHP?
Using ffmpeg,
http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/
(you can also use the command line, but this is the utility all the
youtube clone sites use)
ffmpeg supports swf, but how easily it can pull the video is a subject
of discussion.
There are also various services, such as:
http://heywatch.com/page/home
Which have API's to convert video formats. Most, IIRC also produce a
thumbnail of the conversion, so you could use them if you don't want to
muck with ffmpeg yourself[and ffmpeg can be a nightmare to muck with.
It can also go very easily, so I would tend to say try it on your site
and see what happens.]
