Thanks, I'll have a look.

What I don't understand is how that application would work on a web page. It
looks like I would have to ues it to create the images as a seperate process.

I was wondering if there is a control or call that I could make that will
render the default preview image from the wmv file?


I don't know of any reason why you couldn't do something like that on
a web page, but getting the pic can take a second or two so you may
want to do it async or better pre generate the images and store them
in a database. Unless you need to great time sensitive (I mean time
within the video) dynamically, pre generating would produce much
better scalability for your web app.
