Duncan-
I know my Python is not great, but I have been munging my way
through the videothumb.py code and it looks like if you get into the
snapshot routine it only works with existing image files as I can not
find where it actually calls mplayer though it does some neat magic
image size. From the comments it would a appear that the main loop is
only called when videothumb.py is _not_ imported and the main loop is
the only place where mplayer is actually called to do any work.
