Comment(by anna):

 some ideas on this...

 you can use mplayer to extract thumbnails (as well as ffmpeg):

 mplayer -vo jpeg -frames 1 -ss

 http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mencoder-
 users/2007-February/005331.html

 then use GD to combine this frame thumbnail with the engagemedia logo
 (current flash splash image)?

 or use the playlist function that comes with Flowplayer to load the frame
 thumb, overlay and video:

 http://community.flowplayer.org/demo/basic+setup

 this example has nice rollover play button we might want to look at
 also...
