[Ids-devel] thumbnails for movies..?

[Ajay <li...@he...>]

Hey guys,

	Since I'm not a diehard perl coder, I thought I'd ask you guys how
hard this sounds.
Is there's a unix program to take the first frame of a movie file, and make
a thumbnail out of it?
If not, I noticed that Picasa can do that (not automated, of course) in
windoze, and I'm wondering about putting those thumbnails into some
directory and getting ids to recognize those as the avi/etc thumbnail files,
instead of showing the AVI/movie logo?

Since those files are just available for downloading, there's no comments
page for me to put an img src into either.

	Let me know what you guys think.. and I remain hopeful that all
those (I think I've talked to 2 so far?) that are hacking on the code
outside of the main tree might be able to find a way to merge their stuff
back in.. are there any bugs with 83b2 that prevent it from going final?  A
non-beta release to work against should encourage people to put some time
into porting patches..

ta!

	-Ajay
