Your video was 20 seconds, so they're about 4 seconds apart. I ran it once at original size and then again a 320x180 and gave you both sets of 5 grabs.
It's just configured this way for my use, but I can easily customize basically in any way you like. To take thumbs at a given duration, to exclude time from the begining and end of the clip from being included in thumbnailing.

the results are pretty good - just a little big. are you using 100% jpeg quality? 85-90% should be enough and reduce the filesize a lot. or make that a variable too.
something else to consider: does the watchfolder also accept shortcuts? my video encoding program for example does and this way i don't need to move or copy those huge files around - just drop a couple of hundred or thousand shortcuts in the watchfolder and the rest goes automatically
but regarding your first question: when it works that way you should definitely consider selling it. i would buy it if it was in the $20-$40 range.
