A solution I've used to extract still pictures from RealVideo files,
i.e. a proprietary data format, is a python script which launches
RealPlayer then uses ImageMagick's import command to capture it's 
window and save it as jpeg.

I guess this wouldn't be very good on the server side, but maybe
you could do something like that on a workstation if the images
you want are static, and then put them on the server already
extracted.
