well, I don't know the first thing about linux, and I'm only 10% sure I understand what you mean about doing it on a server. BUT, I know Vegas Video has batch thumb tools. You can set it to dump thumbs at any interval between grabs, but it has to do the whole video, not just a few thumbs. So you would set it to grab like once every minute if you want fewer thumbs to deal with.

If you have a lot of videos, you can load them up in the timeline then just space them out by like 10 minutes. Then you can run them all out as one big image dump, then when sorting you just find the blank thumbs and know that is where the next scene starts.

However, I hear there is a way to create a script that will do all that for you, but I don't know how to script so I'm left doing it the 'stupid' way.
