The package is not available in the repositories, but a deb is available
at http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/imdb-thumbnailer-
Download-40381.html.

About why, it's mostly a matter of personal opinion but I believe that
the cover is more representative of a movie than a video frame. After
all it's the cover (or the poster) you see when you go to the cinema to
watch the movie or to the videoclub to rent it. So it's probably easier
to recognize it visually through the cover, than through a video file.

Files whose cover is not found still use video frames anyway, so there
isn't really a downside to it.

Should I send a message to the mailing list, then?
