Does anyone know a good (free) tool or method to quickly capture WMV screenshots for thumbnails?

Something that can batch convert would be awesome.

xxxjay,

i haven't found a free one that does a good job, though can say that videocharge is great if your willing to shell out the the cash for it.

anyone know of any simple video software (preferably freeware) which does "text overlays"?

xxxjay,

I'm using mediaplayer 9 to play my files and this method of capturing screens works a treat. It may also work in earlier versions too.

Go to Tools->Options->Performance and set Video Acceleration to NONE

This will allow mediaplayer to draw straight to the screen and let you take screen dumps with the good old print screen key.
