Depends on the platform you're on, but on linux the answer usually revolves around ffmpeg:

Btw, your extension checking does not handle well files with multiple dots in them. This does: 

$in_filename = $_FILES['tut_video']['name'];

$pos = strrpos($in_filename, '.');

$ext1 = '';
if ($pos !== false) {
  $ext1 = substr($in_filename, $pos + 1);
}

You need some tool like ffmpeg for creating thumb images from a video, use :

ffmpeg -itsoffset -4 -i test.avi -vcodec mjpeg -vframes 1 -an -f rawvideo -s 320x240
