Answer 1

The MPMoviePlayerController makes it easy to get a image from a movie at a certain point in the movie.

    - (UIImage*)imageFromVideoAtPath:(NSString *)path atTime:(NSTimeInterval)time {
    NSURL *videoURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
    MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:videoURL];
    [moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
    UIImage *thumbnail = [moviePlayer thumbnailImageAtTime:time timeOption:MPMovieTimeOptionNearestKeyFrame];
    [moviePlayer stop];
    return thumbnail;
}

Just call this with the path of the video, and at the time you want to get the image.
