Get a frame from FLV without ffmpeg
Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:22 pm
Hi all,
I need to generate thumbnails from flash videos (FLV) using php. The best and easiest solution would be to use ffmpeg, but my hosting company doesn't allow it. Every suggestion i found on the net also talks about using ffmpeg.
Does anybody have ideas how to get a frame from a FLV file (ideally from the middle of the movie) and save it as an image without ffmpeg?
Thank you,
Skacc
