XnView Software

So if you implement this feature in XNView, please make it work for all videofiles in a directory. Maybe for a first issue the resulting picture could have the same name as the original file.

There are a few limitations in Disk Explorer Pro for this special task: The thumbnail-sheets for videos are only for one row of pictures, there is no additional information (name, size, lentgh etc.) in the pic and you have to press return for each pic while saving all marked. But this is OK, the program is very fast creating the video-thumbs and gives a good overview about all files! And the exportfacilities are cool!

Yesterday I wrote a small script with AutoHotkey for batch processing Image Grabber II, doing the task too for all videos in one folder. Not a big deal, but seems to work. If someone is interested in this little script, I can post it here. I can compile it, too, but never testet if the resulting exe works without autohotkey.

Hello,

I create a tool : Contact Sheet From Video (planche contact à partir d'une vidéo)
Projet sourceforge : http://contactsheetvid.sourceforge.net
Final image dimensions or number of thumbnails are configurable.

I use the QuickTime for java API for V1.x version but i have another solution with Java Videolan.
No public version because i have trouble to set position in the video file.
When java Videolan will be more stable, i 'll publish a version.

I have tested it with some flv, wmv and mpg files - contact sheet now works with video good

But there is still none of the other areas of this features I originally requested:

*intervals (eg. every 10 seconds of a video or user specified)

*where is file size, date, custom comment, video resolution (only on files that shoiw resolution), duration, author - please can these fields be added

* there is no option to add filename (in big at the top) so the contact sheet feature is still not complete - should be like the way media player classic and imagegraber II generate it

Remember like the way this pic does it:- http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/5489 ... pl8rw0.jpg
