It's a GUI solution, but a very simple one. You may use SMPlayer for this purpose.

  1. Open a video with SMPlayer and select Menu > Video > Thumbnail Generator.
    enter image description here
  2. You should get a few options to play with.

  3. Select OK and you'll get the final output.

Since SMPlayer is a front-end for mplayer, I believe same can be achieved using Terminal with the proper usage of mplayer command.
