MPlayer Jpeg output

[asmith3006]

Hi, I'm trying to get a Jpeg of the first frame of a series of WMV videos. I've been told that MPlayer can do it (CLI version) but I'm having no luck.

What I want to do is grab the first frame of lots of WMVs (about 2000) and generate a JPG from it with the same filename as the video (except the extension obviously). Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Looks excellent, but how do I use it? I'm a bit new to this :?

Edit: Actually that's solved it. I was already trying with MPlayer, I didn't know the -frames 1 bit was all I needed :) Thanks!!
