[violence77]

Actually I am looking from a lot of time about a software that can be usefull for the catalogation of all my avi and mpg movies in a database just to make order on all that chaos. But what I still never found in any software I look for it's the most important feature ever, if I have a dvd with 5 divx I just wanna know if there is any kind of software that scan the things in my dvds and after find the 5 movies I have the possibility from the software and not using other programs to get the STILLS or some THUMBNAIL from the movies ..... Anyone can help me in that ? Thx for the help.

Windows XP will give you a thumb nail pic of video if you put each video in a separate file folder and keep all of those folders in one video folder, you really will not need to have special software for this. Windows will put them all in alphabetical order for you and if you click on view thumb nail in folder views, it will give a thumbnail pic from that video. ( or any operating system for taht matter)

If you read what I ask about, mean that I know what xp can do but if I have more then one dvd full of video and I wanna make a catalogue in a database of that kind of videos and for everyone I wanna put a thumbnail or two, I bet that I can't do that with windows xp only right ????? No one use software for make a catalogue of all divx they have ?

WinDVD can do it as well. I got a copy of v.4 with my BenQ burner. It saves the capture as a .bmp.

Nope nope, we are far away, I know a lot of program that let people to do that, but you know, if you have something like 100 dvd and you have to make thumb for all the movies will be something like impossible for who have short time at all. What I ask for it's just a catalog software that have that possibility inside himself without using others software. Thx for help
