Suggest maybe looking at Macromedia Director/Shockwave.
I haven't tried this on the web, but you may be able to create a Shockwave
movie with a placeholder Quicktime on the stage and dynamically link the
actual movie that you want at runtime.
Your preview page with a still image will actually be a page with a
Shockwave embedded in it showing the first frame of the movie paused.
No guarantees that this will work, but I hope this helps and/or prompts
other ideas.
