I could solve this with ffmpeg
.
Just run
ffmpeg -i inputfile.avi -r 1 -t 1 -ss 00:00:03 image-%d.jpeg
Where
-
-i inputfile.avi
- input file -
-r 1
- one frame per second -
-t 1
- how many seconds should be converted to images -
-ss 00:00:03
- from what second to the beginning -
image-%d.jpeg
- final file name template

If you manually adjust the image, it might help you.
Try adding poster="placeholder.png" //photo you want
a video to your tag.
Example
<video width="470" height="255" poster="placeholder.png" controls>
<source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="video.ogg" type="video/ogg">
<source src="video.webm" type="video/webm">
<object data="video.mp4" width="470" height="255">
<embed src="video.swf" width="470" height="255">
</object>
</video>
