I am using Sorenson Squeeze to compress my videos. I thought that there was a way within Sorenson to do Video Thumbnails at the same time, but can't seem to find how to do that.
If there is a way within this program and you know how to do this, please let me know. If not and you know of another program that does this well, please advise. I am looking to create a lot of thumbnails, so whatever tool I use needs to do it efficiently.
Thanks for your advise!

I use FrameShots for vid thumbs, nice and easy to use too, Google it, i think it was only like $20 or something.

ffmpeg+x264. It's painful to set up, but free and very quick. To create a thumbnail you just give it a quick command like
ffmpeg -i videoin.avi -ss 00:00:25 -vframes 1 -y outputfile.jpg
Where it's one frame @ 25 seconds into the clip. Properly compiled ffmpeg will support most every video format in existence.

MPEG Stream Clip works fairly well.. just choose the output as Image Sequence, then change the Frame per second to 1 and press Preview to see what you're going to get. It makes lots of images, so make sure you choose the output directory properly or you'll have a flood of images on the desktop like I did once.
I didn't know I could get gay porn in that many places.. ha!
Just wanted to thank you all for your suggestions!

i like cocothumbx
Looks like all those programs can't handle flv vids (maybe I missed something), which we are using almost exclusively now.
I searched for a tool for flv vids and found IM FLV Thumbnail. Can anyone share some experiences about this program? Also any other recommendations are welcome.
