Description:

This is a BASH script for making sets of movie screenshots, similar to "ImageGrabber" for Windows and "QFrameCatcher" for Linux.

This script provides 3 ways to make screenshots:
1) Specify the desired number of screenshots to make.
2) Specify the desired time between screenshots.
3) Select frames manually. Use arrow keys to fast forward/rewind and [S] to take screenshots. Close mplayer to continue.

Also this utility has the following features:
- Randomizer: screenshots will be slightly different each time you take them.
- Ability to specify several files at one time.
- The output image will also include some information about the file (see screenshot).

Usage:
Make the file executable.

Dependencies:
Mplayer, imagemagick

Changelog:

1.5.9
- filepath bugfix
1.5.8
- Manual mode implemented.
1.5.7
- Seed mode improved
- A bunch of minor changes
1.5.6
- Seed mode. Outputs extra info and removes spaces from filenames.
- A small fix: text positioning.

hmmm.. Well, the script is currently capable of making
1) a certain number of thumbs (I belive that's what you want) using option -n num
2) thumbs with a certain space between them using option -t num

If you need something different than this, please, explain it in details and I'll try to implement it.

It seems to be quite difficult to implement the feature you need because mplayer's timing is not accurate for some reason. And ffmpeg is terribly slow.

So here is a different way to select frames manually. I hope it will fit your needs. Note that it may not work on all machines. If so, install a different build of mplayer or compile it.

Hi!
It seems there was a bug in that place, I've never used this way of input. I've just uploaded a fix, so grab and test it.

Yeah, I'm not a programmer at all, so my code must be really awful =((
I don't know if this is a right way of solving the issue and if it is going to work well. But at least, it works for me now (I think I've tested all possible variants of input).
