Can anyone recommend a Linux/Unix/OSX script for a "favorite tool" that could dynamically generate thumbnails?
Ooops, ignore my other reply to this, forgot we were talking about video files... not enough coffee...
If you upload a video to archive.org - it generates thumbnails. If you look at the log while it is deriving, it tells you what commands it is running. I'll make a note to check the exact command line next time I upload, but in the meantime I'm pretty sure it's an mplayer command that outputs one jpeg image every 100 frames or so, scaled to a small size.
