Description
This manual page documents briefly the totem-video-thumbnailer command. This manual page was written for
the Debian Project because the original program does not have a manual page.
totem-video-thumbnailer is used internally by GNOME applications such as nautilus to generate PNG
thumbnails of video files. While it is possible to invoke it manually, it is usually done automatically
by nautilus.
