Q: 

Video thumbnail

I am working on a site that people can submit the video's link. Then I just embed it. However, I want to get the thumbnail of the videos without saving the videos in my server. So that when I list the vidoes, I can use the thumbnails instead of embedding all videos.

My serve uses PHP. Assume the video is in SWF format.

is there anything in the or tag that I can 'grap' the thumbnail? or in PHP, is there anything that I can remotely get the thumbnail (or a frame ) of the remote video?

any idea?

Hmmm however, do I need to have the file in the server? what if it is just a link in a remote server?also, do I need to have the entire video?
