Question

i found some articles, some projects to create thumbnail of a video, using ffmpeg.exe, expression encoder
but when i downloaded the projects they are not working…
i am not getting that weather ffmpeg.exe downloaded by having problem or the projects are not working.

if anybody has other sources from where i can see samples. please post it..

-thanks in advance
