Is there a way to grab frames from quicktime files in PHP? I'd like to take a frame from a QuickTime file uploaded by a user, and stored on the server, resize it, and save it to a directory. I've been searching all morning, and nothing seems to make any sense.
There's a thing called ffmpeg that can do stuff with movies from PHP. It's complicated to install, only works on Unix/Linux, and I'm not 100% sure it can do QT though. But it's your best bet for sure.
ehnnnn..... I hate ffmpeg. I've only had experience with it on my own system, and never on a server, but it wasn't pleasant. Ah well, I'll give it a shot. Apparently vimeo.com uses it, and they're pretty cool...
