Screenshot Display of Movie Clip? (JavaScript or PHP?)

I put this question under "Miscellaneous" because I'm not sure if it would require PHP or JavaScript. Heck, I'm not even sure it's possible.

Basically, I have a list of movies, to which a user can submit a movie clip (Like Google Video, but smaller).
I'm wondering if it's possible to have a screenshot of each movie displayed automatically next to the movie, like on AltaVista, Google Video, YouTube, etc., where a user doesn't have to go to the trouble of taking a screenshot himself.
Is this possible? If so, would it require JavaScript or PHP? Or a different scripting language?

Thanks,
Joe

Yes; neither; none.

ffmpeg, I believe, is what you are looking for.
