[Red5] About streaming " on demand " ... ffmpeg-php thumbnails

[Nathan P. Johansen]

Did anyone look at the short volley on this subject where I proposed a
method to capture a bitmap of the FLV on the client site, hold that in a
movie clip, and then have a method to save that on the server?  I included
code for doing this in actionscript, but the issue of how to save the
captured image doesn't seem to have any novel solution.
