Are you a Developer

You may use GDS Video Thumbnailer dll's for your own applications for extracting video frames/thumbnails.
Just reference GDS.Video in found in the installation folder. (some code samples will be published some time soon)

With the framework you can

• Everything you see in GDS Video Thumbnailer (completely driven by the framework)
• Generate Video Thumbnails on your website (on the fly ofc) with few lines of code.
• Create your own "royalty free application" to produce video thumbnails.

The framework is very easy to use, and only requires a few lines of code.
