Hello,
I'm building a PHP+MySQL+Linux based website, and I'd like to automatically generate thumbnails (previews) for uploaded video files (AVI and MPEG formats). I know it's possible to execute some command-line application generating previews using for example passthru(). So I have two questions:
(1) What application should I use? It should be possible to generate previews for as many codecs as possible (DivX, Indeo,...).
(2) Isn't there some better solution?
