hi all,

i am looking for a module or an instruction/hint on how to achieve the following:

- imagine a site that aggregates external content like videos of youtube, vimeo etc... anonymous users can submit embeddable content by providing the respective embed-code (e.g. of a youtube video)
- after submission, a node will be created that integrates the embedded content

- now of course, i want to have an overview (node teasers here) where i can sort all submitted content in different ways.
- the question is: how can i get automatically generated image thumbnails of each node that i can use in my teaser view?

i know that e.g. youtube provides thumbnails of their videos. the problem is that i have other content than videos to take care of and these embedded contents (usually swf but not solely) will not provide and externally generated thumbnail.

thanks in advance
