(One of the biggest limitations of many programs is that they deal with directories.
Everything is one program that can deal with, well, everything.)
I used IrfanView to generate thumbs on a series of 368 (movie) clips
(most) all of the clips had the same opening sequence (which is of no value)
& a good number (100) of the generated thumbs had that opening sequence.
the rest had wanted thumbs. some, that were named alike, so sequentially near
to one another, & may have had different thumbs generated - enough that you could
see some commonality, but still you'd have to open both to know for sure...
& with that, i picked up a handful of clips that i'd missed, but overall i'm
thinking i'm not going to find to much value here?
well, maybe some. used in conjunction with other tools, of course.
I've only had a quick look, so far, Diffractor is designed to help you get organized with Photos and Videos on your PC. It can handle millions of media items and is fast and lightweight. It can understand most file formats and compliments other media applications. Diffractor is a metadata editor for video (mp4, mkv, avi) and photos (xmp, iptc, exif). It also allows searching on metadata and viewin/playing results.

(It appears that the current version, 126.0, does not support Win 7. Prior version does.) [FIXED. 126.0.1173 now works on Win7.]
Also note that many tools are only front-ends to what is available in the OS itself, so if the OS does not support something, natively, say .flv on my end, in Win7, then neither Windows nor IrfanView will generate a thumbnail for any .flv files. Likewise, AV1, a newer codec in the video arena.
