Assuming the videos are hosted on your own server, your best bet would be to request that ffmpeg be installed by your hosting provider. If the videos are hosted by a third-party such as YouTube or Vimeo, you can use their APIs to request the thumbnails (see How do I get a YouTube video thumbnail from the YouTube API? for an example of Youtube thumbnail handling).
