I have a question, which im pretty sure can be done some how, but not sure how to do this.

I have a web page with a lot of videos that the users can play, but currently i have an image as a hyperlink and then they click on it and it opens up a new window, and plays the movie in there.

What i need want to do, is the image that they click on to launch the movie, i want to display the first frame of the movie, instead of an image i create using a paint shop package, i know i can use programs to play the movie, and cut the first frame out and save it as a seperate image file. and then display it that way, but its a long process, is there any other way, i can just just give it the movie name and then it will just display the image.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!!
