batch create image contact sheet from videofiles?

It took me a bit longer then a hour to process all vids :) (being 330 video's :D) but this is also due to the fact that eventhough it plays quicktimes they sometimes require a fast manual click to get rid of some stupid error message :)

no gui version would be perfect.. especially with a html output connected to it. (we have made a site now with the contactcheets to index all movies)

in this combo it could become a great app worthy of payment ;)

hi majax79, welcome to DC and sorry for the very late reply! Unfortunately I do not know of any way to force MPC to use a screencap of the first frame as the first image in the contact sheet.

In general, if I had a lot more time to make a more flexible contact sheet solution that could do what you ask for, and many more things, I think I'd try to make one that uses VLC as image grabber ( http://wiki.videolan.org/How_to_create_thumbnails ) and graphicsmagick as contact sheet maker ( http://www.graphicsmagick.org/www/montage.html ). But the fact is that I don't have time to do that.

Amazing little script nod5.
I'm searching the last days for a program that batch makes CAPS form videos but i couldn't find any that works.
Your program saved me a lot time.

Just a little problem. Some times the script stops on MPC save thumbnail menu without pressing save to continue.
The reason for this is (from what i understand) is because you "try" to press SAVE immediately after filling the file name and some times if the media player freezes for a second the "press on save button" isn't registered.
Maybe you can add 1 sec delay before pressing save and after filling the file name.
Maybe i'm just wrong :)
Anyhow, thanks for the program :)

hi freestyler. Yeah I've noticed that problem some time. The script already has such a delay - it tries to click "save" up to 6 times (with 0,5 seconds wait inbetween each). So the problem is something else but I haven't pinpointed what it is.

I haven't had time to test Video Thumbnails Maker (mentioned above; http://www.suu-design.com/projects.html ) but it looks good and is freeware:

If anyone does some testing with it, do post feedback here.
