taith Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 as far as i'm aware, the GD librarys cannot work with video files... potentially animated gifs, but no movies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimGladieux Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 The original thread was started and not answered some time ago,,, so... since I actually surfed in here looking for a similar question... Maybe this will help some one. This is how you do it with ffmpeg and php: function makeThumbnails($dir){ if (is_dir($dir)) { if ($dh = opendir($dir)) { while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) { if($file != "." && $file != ".." && eregi(".mp4", $file)) { $file='/'.$file; $command = "ffmpeg -i " . $dir . $file . " -vcodec mjpeg -vframes 1 -an -f rawvideo -s 320x240 -ss 00:00:10 " . $dir . str_replace(".mp4", ".jpg", $file) ; return exec("$command"); }//end if }//end while closedir($dh); }//end if handle $dh }//end if dir return TRUE; }//end function makeThumnails() This of course will make a 320x240 jpg from a mp4 file from the frame 10sec into the movie ffmpeg is quite powerful it will use pretty much any video container/codec, just change those parts. (oh yeah the function returns a boolean and the while loop means it keeps doing it while there is another movie in the dir to make a thumbnail for! I guess that's pretty obvious. If you take the "command" out and run it in a terminal with the variables $dir and $file changed to indicate the movie, etc. it will just make one!)
