    Anyway for embedded mpg video to show first frame?

    I am trying to embed a mpg file into a page and want to know if I can show the first frame of the video rather than have it start automatically or just show black?

      Thanks, while I could do that these are sponsor hosted videos so I'd prefer if I did not have to download, convert and host them all. Any other options?

          Not sure I follow, do you mean just manually make thumbnails of all the videos and link directly to them? I am trying to embed them into the page but if I make them not start automatically (which is what I want) each video is all black when the page loads, which is fine, but it would be preferable if I could somehow show the first frame of each video rather than just black before the user plays each one.

              not very easily

              you could do it with javascript using a thumbnail overlay

                free site, can you point me in the right direction to find a script that would show the first frames?

                  Smokey, so I'd would need to manually capture a frame from each video and then overlay it on the embedded player?

                        mmm, how about a flash layer overlay (over embedded video player) with a onmouseover/unload that contains a jpg of the vid clip?

                        dunno?
