While uploading FLV file, I need to take screen from file, let's say from middly of movie.
Got any ideas ? Pleas help. I need to make it as simpliest as possible.

I don't know if you can use them to take screenshots of videos, but i know of two flash-related PHP plugins:
Ming
and
SWF

I really don't do much in the way of flash, but i hope this helps!

I just opened the thread again so I could read the phrase "from middly of movie" :lol:

You might want to look at programs like ffmpeg to see if they will convert a frame at a specific time to an JPEG.

ffmpeg is probably your best method.
it works on almost every movie format in existance.

plus, theres already some apps floating around out there to integrate it with php.

I seem to recall a PECL extension called "middly.so"... no wait, that's just lack of oxygen from laughing ;-)

BTW, what my leathery friend means is: http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/
