how can I have a thumb frame of a movie, like youtube

Hello, all:

was wandering, how can I have php create a thumb frame of a movie?? (like youtube where only a frame of the movie appears which then when you click takes you to the movie itself to play...)

I am looking to create a small gallery of movies, but want to show their thumbnails first, so they can choose what movie they want to see...

Thanks!

I used ffmpeg to do this, but I know there are other solutions out there.

I think this PHP class has an ffmpeg wrapper as well as emulation of ffmpeg in pure php.
