I want to save a screenshot of a swf movie using PHP. Is there any way I can do this ?

I'd say there is no direct way of doing it... you probably need to install some software on the server which you can send commands from PHP

you will probably need ffmpeg installed

here's a link you might use

PS: is the video FLV or SWF?

Can be both. Does it make a difference ?

Code:

<?php
$movie = new ffmpeg_movie("video.flv", false);
$framenum = 15;
$frame = $movie->getFrame($framenum);
$im = $frame->toGDImage();
imagejpeg($im, "test.jpg");
imagedestroy($im);
print '<img src="test.jpg"/><br/>';
?>

you will need to have ffmpeg-php4 or ffmpeg-php5 installed.

Only PHP Programmers who are starting are using for every thing a extension, alot hosts are not going to install php-ffmpeg. so save yourself alot of work and use ffmpeg direct with the shell_exec function.

using a extension for something so easy is ridicoules anyway.

FLV screenshot can be easy extracted. SWF is harder. As long as i know ffmpeg can not do this but not 100% sure about it, never tried.

only worked with movie files myself and ffmpeg.
