In case you are interested in something that requires less fiddling you can 
try the RivaVX encoder. Free to use and idiotproof (that's why I use it). It 
has two disadvantages, it runs only on Windoze and doesn't handle german 
Umlaute, unless they recently fixed that. One would guess they tested that 
since it is a german company....


Coming back to the original question. Does it need to be an automated process? 
How many videos would be need to be thumbnailed? If that is for adding a few 
dozen files once in a while making a quick screenshot is probably the easiest 
and quickest way, less kewl though.
