Really good idea and well executed. Would you mind saying a few words behind the code?

Do you scrape the whole video, or just the part requested? And is the conversion to gif a library or something you wrote?

I'm totally ignorant when it comes to scraping videos and converting them, but I find it interesting.

I'm also interested in how you're doing this. I also wanted to do youtube previews for a website and this seems strictly superior to the thumbnails they offer :)

Also, why don't you throw Adsense on this page?
