I would like to play a video (AVI/MPG) on a PHP page. How can I do this? I would also like to generate thumbnails for each video. Could anyone suggest some tools?

For thumbnails you'd need something like ffmpeg installed on your server.

To play the videos, you could use any javascript media player or HTML5, there are a ton of free ones or the web such as jPlayer

Just like Kevin said, you need ffmpeg installed on your server to generate thumbnails. Have a look here - hope it gets you started.
