Using Microsoft Windows XP or 2000 it is normally not as easy to create a thumbnail image out of a video. To exeactly doing this I have written a small software called MovieSnapshot. With MovieSnapshot you can for example get a simple preview image for each video from a CD video archive. You can simply drag and drop a video out of the Windows Explorer on MovieSnapshot to open the video. After opening the video look for the right point to make a snapshot of. Then you only have to save the result - and that's it. MovieSnapshot suggests the video file name plus the extension ".jpg" as default for saving the snapshot.
It supports all installed DirectShow video and audio codecs. MovieSnapshot is freeware.
How to use:
1. Open the video and look for the right spot to make a snapshot of ...
2. ...and save the result as JPEG image.
3. MovieSnapshot can also be used...
4. ... as a simple MediaPlayer replacement.

The license of this software is Freeware, you can free download and free use this video utility software.
