I have googled a lot but did not get any perfect solution even I tried with the Framegrabber but it is also not working.

You can use Process.Start on the server side to create thumbnails from the video using FFMPEG, commands here .

The command line looks like:

ffmpeg -i input.flv -f image2 -vf "select='eq(pict_type,PICT_TYPE_I)'" -vsync vfr thumb%04d.png
