Don't know if this is the right place but anyways...
Want to know if its possible using the Windows Media SDK to automatically create a thumbnail preview from a frame of a wmf file. Basically want to create a jpg/gif thumbnail and display it to the user in the browser as a preview of a particular media file. I've searched around and can't seem to fund anything about this. I've been able to grab thumbnail previews of different file types(avi, mov, mp4, mpg) using a different SDK, but it doesn't support wmv's so had to use the Windows Media SDK instead. Have been able to grab the metadata from the file, but not sure if its possible to get a preview thumbnail. We are using VB.Net.

Well, first things first: This isn't the right forum :-). Try this newsgroup: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/community/newsgroups/WindowsMedia/default.mspx dg=microsoft.public.windowsmedia.sdk&lang=en&cr=US
But just off the top of my head, you might want to look into using the Windows Media Format SDK. There's an interface called IWMSyncReader, which enables you to seek to a point in the file that you specify and pull out the frames, decompressed if you want.
