Update after version 14.0.0, the bitrate of the video is incorrect. For example, JAV is usually 5744+256, and now version 18.0.0 shows 5737+255. I hope it can display data like mediainfo.

I've used the software dating back to version 1.0. It works great and is easy to use. Well worth the money.

This app was so good and affordable that I actually paid for it, ha ha. By far the best thumbnails maker ever tested.

Easy and intuitive to use. Worked almost perfectly for me, batch-converting hundreds of mp4/avi/wmv files to thumbs.

A very small number of MP4 files in that batch however would cause the program to choke (with the progress bar not moving for 10-15 minutes) and then not respond to a Stop click, requiring Task Manager to kill the process.

VTM is excellent for me!

Ease of use - 9/10 (some options are not clear for the first-time-user)
Functionality - 10/10
Value for money - 10/10
Overall score - 10/10

Nymphomaniac, Thedanny,
VTM is not supplied with its own codecs. It uses your codecs.
If you have any problems with mkv h.264 - read FAQ in 3.0.0.4 (a link can be found in the top right corner of the application). Just follow the instructions.

lovelove,
VTM requires .NET 2.0 Framework (3.5/4.0 does not include 2.0).

I have NET 3.5 installed and VideoThumbnailsMaker refuses to run (error: "Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application").

I updated to NET 4.0 --> same error.

Ignore my last comment - this works perfectly in Windows 7. You just need to get a new activation key. Excellent tool! Thanks :-)

Extreme Rendering Engine fails to activate on Windows 7. I am stuck with splash screens in my output files even after becoming a Gold member.

Not cool.

Kleines, aber sehr hilfreiches Programm! Es funktioniert intuitiv und einfach, Datei(en) oder Folder auswählen, Start drücken und schon sehe ich das Ergebnis! Genial!

Vorteile:
- Überschaubare Steuerung
- Schnelle Bearbeitung von Aufgaben

Design des Programms ist aber ein bisschen gewöhnungsbedürftig.

I find this software very useful, and works for various catalog functions i create. it's a great program...i will recommend to all my friends.

A worthy replacement for all the programs i have used before, with a good range of options and flexibility, a clean interface, and a nice output. It handles a good range of video formats as well. There are extra customisations if you choose to donate.

If you need a quick, powerful, video thumbnail generator, this is a great option.

I'd love to use it, but when I added a folder with 5 mov files and pressed "Start" all I got was "0 Done, 5 Fails". Kind of a turn-off. Nothing had been changed from the default settings.

Works like a charm!

Great piece of software. I needed a way to create thumbnails for my home movies so I could differentiate my movies in XBMC. This does exactly that.

I've been using Video Thumbnails Maker for a couple of days now, and I'm pleased with it.
This tool is exactly what i was looking for.

It's a nice, neat little program that has so far performed well in demo mode so I'm happy to activate & upgrade to the platinum/extreme version.

Thanks for creating such a great program!

Really easy to use and fast tool, no additional codec installation required as it used the operating system codecs. I am running Windows 7 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit and this tool works like a charm in both the free and paid version. It's really worth the money!

This is a great tool, I have used several versions before updating to 3.0.0.1 yesterday.
After registration the extreme engine is available and let me tell you, I thought it was fast before. Now it really smokes. This version also seems to have fixed the problem of failed .wmv
files that the older versions had.

I post quite a bit on usenet and used to create thumbnails with Media Player Classic, one at a time. What a pain!
With VTM, I can put all the videos in 1 directory and select add folder in VTM's menu.
Then just click start and all the vids are processed...all in a couple clicks. What a time saver!!

I admit this is the first time I registered the program, but I now regret that decision.
The removal of the random logo frame and the speed of the extreme engine are more than worth the small cost for a tool I use so much. The author has come up with a great program, why not reimberse him for his efforts.

I was looking for this kinda tool for while. I read about it on some forum I really don't remember which one but there was a discussion about making thumbnails from WMV and everybody had the same problem with classic media player. This monster solved everything it's really good and user friendly what is more important (for me). Grate WORK people !!!

This rating is for registered version 2.0.1.0, will review version 3.0.0.1 shortly.

VTM is an excellent, little program and provides exactly what I was looking for. You can generate thumbnails out of every video file that you have codec support for on your system (I have K-lite installed, for example). What is not obvious but also works: You can also generate thumbnails consisting of only the first non-black frame of any video file by setting the time to 0 (beg) and 9999 (sec), something the author told me. Am curious to see if this is integrated as an option in one of the next versions.

I have been using this program since 1 year now and it have improved a lot. I upgraded to the platinum level and it was very worth the donation. The engine is super fast and I can choose thumbnails scrolling the movie. It still have some minor bugs but it's great that the developer is continuosly releasing new versions and fixing bugs. I LOVE THIS PROGRAM!!

That's the software I was looking for!! Nothing found more excellent than Video Thumbnails Maker!! It's highly configurable, flexible, and final results are awesome!
There's nothing more to say, simple I recommend you this tool!
Don't forget to buy an activate code, it's cheap, and worth to appreciate author for his fantastic work on developping VTM :) After unlocking, other functionality will be available...

* Version 3.0.0.0 and onward replace a frame of the contact sheet with the program's logo. A fact that is conveniently omitted from the changelog.
* I can't drag and drop files in the latest version, while this wasn't a problem before.
* All versions fail on random files (MP4, WMV, there seems to be no rhyme or reason), although the changelog says this is fixed.
* So I'm going to stick with version 2.1.0.6, because it works just as badly but at least it doesn't deface my contact sheets. Development of Image Grabber II.NET has ceased ages ago, and Media Player Classic doesn't offer any similar customization options or batch processing. So I'm afraid Video Thumbnails Maker is the best a 64-bit Windows user can do at the moment.

Great software. I have a large collection of WMV/Xvid videos that I would like to make thumbnails in JPG format for indexing purpose. This little program saves me a lot of time to make thumbnails for my collection in batch mode -- I just point to my video folder (VTM will scan for sub-folder for all compatible video formats), and hit start. Relax and my thumbnails will be ready when VTM is done.

MPC has similar feature, but there is no batch mode available. I really love this program, great time saver!

Absolutely HATE the Annoying Random Logo Shot in the new version 3.... I personally would never use it since it makes the whole contact sheet looks like Crap!!

Also it does not work on about 30% of the files I rendered (while ImageGrabber II could process it w/o any problem) .... From my experience... ImageGrabber II is STILL the most reliable even though the interface is long overdue for an update.....

Video Thumbnail Maker... What else?
OK, I'm not Georges Clooney, but, believe me, VTM is quite better than any Nespressso coffee...
-More simple than the Nespresso coffee maker, but really does a wonderful job.
-Pics and thumbnails are high quality
-Contact sheets are customisable much more than with any other soft
-The job is done sooooooooooooooooooooo quickly!
-Artur is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo comprehensive (lol)
-And, seriously... do you really think taht you could have better for just 10 bucks???
Thx again for this marvellous tool...
Pierre.

This is by far the most versitle and value for money video thumb maker out there. The author is quick to my after sales support too. Highly recommended you guys to activate with just $10 as you get more functions than the default.

Two thumbs up. :)

Following up on ojjuror, the new "Brilliant"(?) edition contains the not-so-brilliant idea of always substituting one panel with the company logo.

Back to 2.106 for me!

I've been using this program through its different versions. just grabbed the latest version. for some strange reason, when i create thumbnails, the latest version incorporates the company logo in place of one specific thumbnail. FYI. I find this completely annoying and suggest going back to the previous decent-working version.

Excellent program, the best image grabber from video format that I could find, works extremely fast once you've paid for an upgrade, really pleased with it, I've had a lot of problems screen capping .mp4's in the past, but this program works like a dream, highly recommend it! :)

A worthy replacement for Image Grabber II, with a good range of options and flexibility, a clean interface, and a nice output. It handles a good range of video formats as well (more than IG II). There are extra customisations if you choose to donate, although I'm not sure a different coloured progress bar is a big incentive.

One thing to note if you are coming from Image Grabber II - Video Thumbnail Maker does not allow you to chose specific frames or see the timeline. Everything is based on your presets. Often this is fine, but sometimes you want to use specific images from a scene, in which case you should keep Image Grabber II installed as well.

If you need a quick, simple, video thumbnail generator, this is a great option.

This is a total winner, and I'm a total a$$ when it comes to
b*tching and moaning about this little feature which would save
me a mouse click, or an extra window which should disappear without
an ok... and I swear... I'M trying to find something wrong with this
program and I CAN'T!

Stay tuned, cuz I'm going to keep on trying to find s o m e t h i n g wrong...
...but I'm pretty sure I'll fail.

A home-run, and an adopted program within 3 mins of opening and installing it.

Kudos to that young man who did it right.
