Answer 2

Besides advice from Ken, if you have  Expression Encoder SDK, you can use it's API.

Screen capture in version 3 can be done with following code.

private void SaveImageFrom(TimeSpan location, string videoFile, string imageFile)
{
    Uri uri = new Uri(videoFile);

    MediaItem item = new MediaItem(uri.LocalPath);

    Bitmap image = item.MainMediaFile.GetThumbnail(location, item.VideoSize);

    image.Save(imageFile, ImageFormat.Png); 
}

You can do same with the version 4.0, if you look at the product directory there should be Samples folder that includes samples how to use version 4 SDK.

I think it might include sample of how to create thumbnails.
