some ideas on this...
you can use mplayer to extract thumbnails (as well as ffmpeg):
mplayer -vo jpeg -frames 1 -ss

then use GD to combine this frame thumbnail with the engagemedia logo (current flash splash image)? http://www.codewalkers.com/c/a/Miscellaneous/Overlapping-Images-with-GD/1/
or use the playlist function that comes with Flowplayer to load the frame thumb, overlay and video:

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

- Milestone changed from 0.3 - Plone 3 to 0.2.2 - small user side enhancements
Also an excellent user enhancement, Andy says it's doable for this next release using the following how-to :)

it seems you can change the play button overlay only on the commerical version.

Moved to 0.3 as proposed a few weeks ago. no more features are being added into 0.2 before a 'final' is released, only bug fixes.
