Aurigma Media Processor is a component which can load files of various media formats and process them. For images and video files it can make a thumbnails, rotate, crop, draw text and so on and save the result as JPEG or BMP. It can grab necessary frame frame of video file, retrieve information about video and audio files (as artist name, title, duration, bitrate and so on). There is a smart algorithm which determines that selected frame is empty (for example the first frames of movies/clips is black) and it always retrieves informative frame! You can easily enhance its capabilities installing QuickTime library (available on Apple site) which allows to generate thumbnails from QuickTime (MOV) movies, Macromedia Flash (SWF) movies and Adobe Photoshop files (PSD) (and many others formats more)!
