I want to put some video clips on my site, and I want some thumbnails to go with the links. What's a good Linux framegrabber I can use? I want one that I can set to do multiple clips at once, and that I can set what point in the video it captures from, preferably one with a GUI too.
Well, you don't have to capture the whole screen just do a window select...

I don't want to cut things out of the picture. I want a program that just takes the video, goes to the specified time in the clip, and takes an exact capture of what's in that particular frame.
I know there's gotta be a way to do this - when I put my mouse over video files in KDE it shows me a frame a couple seconds into the clip. Not the movie, just a picture of what's in that particular frame.
mplayer will do it.
-ss <timepos> Seek to given (seconds or hh:mm:ss) position
-frames <number> Play/convert only first <number> frames, then quit.
-vo <gif89a,jpeg,pnm,png,tga>
