enter image description here

Which program can be used for that? Is there any command-line tool?

If you are using Linux then Video Contact Sheet *NIX is an excellent wrapper around a number of utilities to automate making thumbnail sheets with a decent set of options for customising the output. If you are using Windows/Max/BSD then you may have less luck with it, though the creator states that better support for other OSs is planned in later versions.

Your example was done in Media Player Classic. While playing the video simply go to File -> Save Thumbnails.

FFmpeg can also do this.

ffmpeg -i <input_file> -f image2 -vcodec mjpeg img%d.jpg

this will make a series of images named img1.jpg, img2.jpg, etc.

Yeah I never checked his example his explanation sounded good enough. Then I checked it and saw Media Player Classic across it in giant letters. – John T Nov 13 '09 at 14:28
