What a great script. I have tried this and it works really good on my ubuntu jaunty… However there are some issues i encountered.
1. Not able to capture flash content.
2. Is the a way to capture long urls? like http://www.xyz.com/cool/?re=mx&do=th9484 . i keep getting errors trying to capture thumbnail from these urls.

Hope to get a response. Thanks again guys

you can run CutyCapt in php without any problem it is the most easy way to do it

From 1200 websites I have noticed that each solution has blocked or generated empty thmbnail at least once.

If you want to use it for real you have to use some commersial product :( sorry for saying it.

I am currently stick on one comersial firefox plugin running in framebuffer. The plugin is not hacked but we have to make a lot of coding around the capturing to save our thumbnails in the way we want.
