Use ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i video.mkv -start_number 1 -vf fps=1/420 image-%03d.jpg

the 1/420 means to create an image every 7 minutes (7x60=420 seconds), like in your snapshots.

The %03d.jpg means create an image name like image-001, image-002 etc

Hi, I am working on a program that can do this, it has its own batch system but can also be used within a bat.

thank you for your reply. didnt work like this..changed it to this

ffmpeg -i %1 -start_number 1 -vf fps=1/420 pic%%05d.jpg

but also need to be saved as the sample as 1 image. not take 7+ images depending on the duration. create a single image with 2 rows 3 columns if possible

The link I gave you has a batch file that does that.
