Is there a program that can anyone can recommend that can take a ton of video snapshots really fast? Every single program I've used so far seems to take probably close to 30-40 minutes to get through a 2 hour video.

Thanks.
 
ffmpeg

Example:
Code: 
ffmpeg -i input.ext -f image2 screenshot%06d.png

Don't forget, you are limited by mainly 2 things: how fast you can decode video (combination of its resolution, format, and encoding settings) and how fast you can encode the image. PNGs encode slower, JPGs faster, BMPs fastest (but requires the fastest drive). 30 to 40 minutes doesn't seem too unreasonable.
 
Ahhh ok. Thanks for the response. I've been using a Thumbnail Me, which produces thumbnails pretty fast. I guess I was under the impression that creating images for a video at certain intervals would be just as fast.
 
Code: 
ffmpeg -i input.ext -q:v 0 -vf scale=400:-1,fps=fps=1/20 screenshot%06d.jpg
