how can i set in my all video "Show first frame as preview image"? I am using Media Player for playing movies (avi, mpeg, mov) in my ..net application. I would like to show a preview image for each movie opened by user. Any simple way for us to get the first frame from an avi/mpg/mov file and display it as a Bitmap in .NET?
You can use ffmpeg (free and open source application) to dump a given frame of almost any type video file as a JPG, etc... See http://www.expertcore.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1143
