Video thumbnai 2

[tedsmith]

How would I implement GDI+ (or other method) to make a separate thumbnail of the first frame of an AVI or mpg4 video file? (If this is possible)
Does this put the frame into an image or picture box or create a picture of it's own making?
I need each thumbnail as a separate small piece of data rather than just a shrunk version of the original on a screen.
I want to send say 5 thumbnails showing on a page with a different layout to a remote computer on a LAN so the thumbnails need to be in effect 5 separate small BMPs or some other form that can be shown on a remote image box rather than only create them on the screen.

Yeah, but 99% of those are city slickers who have no idea of how to drive on rural roads. I've travelled the whole country extensively escorting oversize trucks, and the one thing you learn really quick is that roos nearly always take off straight ahead when they get startled. So if they're facing the road, you can bet that they'll hop out straight in front of you. If they're facing away from the road, I don't even slow down, and I've never even come close to hitting one - they're predictable. They'll usually get up to speed before changing direction.

Emu's on the other hand are a totally different story. They run all over the place and always follow the leader. There's no way to know what they'll do. I've had heaps of close calls, the closest probably on the Mitchell Hwy a few kilometres out of Barringun. Came within about a metre of wiping out 3 of the stupid things.

But the best damage I've seen was to a new (at the time) Holden Statesman around 2006. The city slicker decided to put one wheel either side of some roadkill - BIG mistake with a car like that!

The roadkill was a huge wombat - it tore the whole cross-member out and took the bottom half of the transmission with it! All up over $8,000 damage!

Heaven doesn't want me, and Hell's afraid I'll take over!

My wife did that in the middle of the Nullabor Plains. It was only a small beast and luckily the lowest part of the middle of the car was the towbar tongue but it splattered the entire front of our camper trailer a lovely shade of red. Took days for the smell to fade.
On wombats, I thought they were endangered but at one part of W.A, I counted 25 dead ones on the roadside in 20km so there must be a plague of them there.
