ABSTRACT:
A method for generating thumbnails for video files includes receiving one or more parameters associated with a plurality of thumbnails to be displayed simultaneously and a plurality of frames for each thumbnail. The plurality of frames for each thumbnail is extracted from one or more video files. The frames for each thumbnail are stored in a corresponding buffer and/or can be displayed by retrieval from the buffer. The plurality of frames for each thumbnail can be displayed simultaneously. A device includes one or more decoders for decoding one or more video files, a processor for generating a plurality of thumbnails from the one or more video files by extracting a plurality of frames for each thumbnail using one or more parsers, and a storage unit in communication with the processor for storing the plurality of frames for each thumbnail.
