To open a d2v file you need to write a script like this: LoadPlugin("C:\Movie\av_plugins\MPEG2DEC.dll") Mpeg2source("C:\Movie\ID4.d2v") You probably have mpeg2dec.dll in dvd2svcd folder. Open the new created script in vdub. You should check the framerate.(video>framerate) If it's not what you want, you can add to your script(this script) convertFPS(29.97) or whatever framerate you have there. You could change it in vdub, but I don't think it does it right, and when you encode your menu, the video might play too fast or too slow. And now you are all set. In video choose direct stream copy, then select range, and use the frame where you want your thumbnail to begin, then the number of frames, ok and you choose save as avi. Right at the bottom of the save window there's a check box Add operation to job list..., check that and save. And then do the same for every thumbnail, and when finished go file>job control>start. It's easy. The avis are gonna be big, so make sure you have enough room. Well, that's all. Let me know how it goes.
