wmv thumbnail captures
 

Does anyone know a good (free) tool or method to quickly capture WMV screenshots for thumbnails?

Something that can batch convert would be awesome.

xxxjay,

i haven't found a free one that does a good job, though can say that videocharge is great if your willing to shell out the the cash for it.

I found this for 20$ and it's awesome:

I was just gonna post that, bought it 3 weeks ago when it was only $15
Does a great job indeed :)

anyone know of any simple video software (preferably freeware) which does "text overlays"?

xxxjay,

I'm using mediaplayer 9 to play my files and this method of capturing screens works a treat. It may also work in earlier versions too.

Go to Tools->Options->Performance and set Video Acceleration to NONE

This will allow mediaplayer to draw straight to the screen and let you take screen dumps with the good old print screen key.
