grabbing frames from a Windows Media file

[rinty]

I have a project that requires grabbing a frame from a .wmv file every three minutes to save as a thumbnail. I've hunted around the web, but only turned up one piece of software called Random Frame, which was so buggy I couldn't get anything decent out of it. Does anyone know of some software that can do this? If it can batch files as well even better. Commercial software is fine - it's for work :)

Open up windows media player 6.4 (if you have 7/8/9 installed, look in the wmp DIR and it will be there). Then, as you are playing the video, pause in the frame that you want to save. you can't get the EXACT frame, but you can get close enough. Then when it is paused, just hit the "print screen" button on your keyboard. Open up your image editor (photoshop) and just paste into a blank image and cut out what you need etc. and save, done!
