Video guys help me out please.......question

I have a load of vids on linux server.....I need to 1 or a few thumbs for each scene......so easiest way that comes to mind.......export first 10 frames from each file to make sure there's at least 1 that's usable as a thumb which I can
use in the index page that lists all scenes with description and a thumb from the scene......

before I reinvent the wheel.....is there a good tool that can already do this.....
preferably for linux so I can do it on the server instead of on workstation and then upload the results?

I'm sure ffmpeg can do it.....but perhaps something simple can do it too as that's all I ever need to do by on server with the file.......so to install ffmpeg for just doing that I rather avoid if possible......I know ffmpeg rocks and what not
but I won't ever need it for anything else than this........

If there's no easy linux tool you know off......then winblows is fine too as long as it can do it as a batchjob that doesn't require me to do them 1 by 1....

Thanks a million!
