Is it possible to get a thumbnail of a movie in .NET from a video file? (.Mov and .MP4 media files, but any movie file format will do as a proof of concept)
I have a web site that accepts user submitted videos, much like youtube but I don't encode anything right now. I just allow them to host their movie and have it streamed in the browser, instead of just showing a standard ICON to the user on my site I'd like to show a snapshot of certain frame of that video, say the first frame, or 100th frame and save that as a JPEG.
I did a search of various forums here and couldn't see an answer to my problem.
I know there's end user software that can do this but I need to be able to it at runtime preferrably, although I batch solution that parses a folder of videos and creates the images might work.
"If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos...then you probably haven't completely understood the seriousness of the situation.
