How To Make Thumbnails from MPG/WMV Files
 

How do YOU make your thumbnails from MPG/WMV/AVI files (for MGP templates)?

I found a program, but its $35US. I will pay this BUT first just checking if anyone knows of a cheaper solution.

Thanks! :winkwink:

whats the program..

Doesn't work for Windows Media Player or Winamp, it just shows a BLACK box when I paste it for some reason... Anyone else have that problem?

turn off your hardware accelleration, then print screen.

Avi, mpg - VDub
wmv - VDub (cracked)

Free + frame by frame option...

Downloaded VirtualDub, can't get WMV to work, something about Micro$oft being assholes blah blah blah... Can you upload the crack somewhere for me to download? Thanks!

Thanks man!

Did you made search on Google?
eMule?

VirtualDub 1.3c (VDub)

Or just use windows movie maker (Most recent XP versions have it)

Personnaly I use Light Allow media player. It allows you to push F12 during a playback and saves a frame capture as a .bmp file.

VirtualDub 1.6.1 no longer allows WMV files... :(

I'm sorry, but which part you don't understand?
Search for VirtualDub 1.3c, that is last mod with wmv support

frame-shots is worth the money, it saves alot of time, very nice program..

I've just found that BSPlayer at www.bsplayer.org can do frame captures too. And there's a free version available.

Arles can thumb movies now too.

Media Player Classic, looks like windows media player 6.4 (the old one) but is full of really nice features.
