On it's own, I think it can be made to generate grabs at a fixed interval (eg every 20 seconds, but I usually try to hand pick most of the frames, especially for shorts). The last time I checked, if you use it to shrink those pictures down to 200x150 the file size and image quality are worse than if used other applications to shrink the grabs VD makes. This is why I use those other tools to send a list of hand picked frames to VirtualDub to grab and then do the thumbnailing afterwards. However, the second grabber doesn't have to do things exactly like I do, and doesn't have to be responsible for creating the final images. Just a list of frame numbers would make my life easier if they're reliably in the frequently violated house style - avoiding truly repetitive grabs, minimizing dull one shots, eliminating buffoon's ex-wife's heart and the insanely blurry, and following few other house secrets.
