We had a hell of time with ffmpeg for thumbnail generation. We use
Frameshots for thumbnailing off of WMVs but in our testing it seams to work
98% of the time on FLV (both H263 and VP6) and you can very easily script
out having it grab a thumbnail 5 seconds or so in.

Subject: Re: [Red5] first frame of a flv video

you can also do server side processing with ffmpeg, if video codec is
h263+,  but if I remember properly, Steven Gong mentioned that he had
coded a yet uncomitted red5 function which extracts keyframes, which
can be used like images (e.g. for thumbnails), but in reality are FLV
files ...
