Tool which exports thumbnails

[mgt]

Hello@all!

I'm wondering about how useful a tool which exports thumbnails for chapter previews out of avi files would be.
Got the idea because I'm sick of exporting every single chapter thumbnail manually.

Is there any other tool which can do this?

I'm currently working on such a tool, my first C# project, and I hope it will be useful not only for me.

I'd like to get some feedback from you, just tell me your view on this, plz. ;)

where do you use such thumbnails?

[mgt]

err ... for a chapter menu?!

I don't use those damn tools which you create menus by clicking on a button with, cause the handling and possibilities are really ... shit.

When using Scenarist or Maestro or any other professional tool, you have to make every menu picture with an extarnal program. and those cant import videos and chapter lists, can they?

I do not have much experience in commercial authoring packages, but TMPGENc DVD Author does it. Automatically detects the chapters and create the scene selection with thumbnails (IIRC, still or even animated)
