ffmpegthumbnailer - fast and lightweight video thumbnailer
SYNOPSIS
ffmpegthumbnailer [options]
DESCRIPTION
Ffmpegthumbnailer is a lightweight video thumbnailer that can be used by file managers to create thumbnails for your video files. The
thumbnailer uses ffmpeg to decode frames from the video files, so supported videoformats depend on the configuration flags of ffmpeg.
OPTIONS
-i<s> : input file
-o<s> : output file
-s<n> : thumbnail size (use 0 for original size) (default: 128)
-q<n> : image quality (0 = bad, 10 = best) (default: 8) (only for jpeg)
-c<s> : override image format (jpeg or png) (default: determined by filename)
-t<n|s>
: time to seek to (percentage or absolute time hh:mm:ss) (default: 10%)
-a : ignore aspect ratio and generate square thumbnail
-f : create a movie strip overlay
-h : display this help

SYNOPSYS
totem-video-thumbnailer [-j|--jpeg] [-l|--no-limit] [-g num|--gallery num] [-s size] input output [backend options]
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.
ARGUMENTS
input The input filename. This can be in any format that totem can play.
output The output filename, output in PNG format.
backend options
Options to be passed to the backend (i.e. gstreamer).
OPTIONS -j --jpeg
Switch the output format to JPEG. The default is PNG.
-g num --gallery num
Output a gallery of the given number (0 is the default) of screenshots.
-l --no-limit
Don't limit the thumbnailing time to 30 seconds. For debugging purposes.
-s size The size of the thumbnail. Example: "64x64". The default is "128x96".

How do you make video thumbnails like this in Linux? The only program I know of that can do this is Media Player Classic. I hope there is a way to do this in Linux. What would these types of thumbnails be called?

Since I cannot find a ffmpeg build that will automatically include a environment variable for the CMD ffmpeg command I'll probably have to do it myself.
However I would like to do so by saving it inside a .reg file.
For example if my path towards FFMPEG is:
