Take a thumbnail from a quicktime (movie) file

Question

Does someone know if it's even possible (in PHP) to take a frame/thumbnail from a quicktime movie on the server?

Something like the usual GD thumbnail generation, but for .mov files.

note: I'm using dreamhost, so I don't have more than web-panel access to the server.
