Cron and Flash
 
Here is what I need to do:

I have flash files that i need converted to JPGs.

So the flash file itself Posts its pixels to a php file and the php file does the conversion


Can I run a cron script that can run flash files? I guess it would require running Fire Fox or something in command line mode.

Thanks in advance.

Sure. A oneliner could look something like 'ffmpeg -i somename.flv -f image2 -vcodec mjpeg somename%d.jpg'. Reading the ffmpeg manual page and trial and error should show if you need additional parameters and you might need to wrap the oneliner in some simple shell script to process a directory of .flv files.
