Is it really possible to make crystal clear thumbs/images from dvdS?
 

DVD ripped into AVI

From AVI loaded into a prog such as Snatch it.

Sample below...

For smallish (300 pixels or so) try http://www.deskshare.com/vem.aspx , grate video editing tool. I use it all the time.

thanks ill check it out :thumbsup

That one you have there isn't all that bad. Mess around with the brightness and contrast a bit, maybe the colors as well...

The pic sorta looks distorted, but clarity looks good to me.

Snatch it, how ironic

i take a screen capture of my videos being played at full screen, that way when you resize it squashes it down and makes a nice thumb

How do you do that? I tried with the print screen and paste but all I get is a black image. Is there software for that? If so, how much is it?

Try SnatchIt...do a search on google for snatchit and you can do it.
The big question as Juicy asked if you can really get good quality?

I use WinDVD and pull the images straight from the DVD before I encode it.
It doesnt come out too bad, and the size it gives you is 640x480
