I was using a similar method for thumbnail screenshots and
"-ss" to get a random frame but mplayer always create the
first thumbnail with the first frame of the video file,
the second frame is the expected one.

I run this test with mplayer dev-SVN-r19522-4.0.2 and
it is reproducible with this command:

mplayer -frames 2 -vo png -ss 00:01:00 video.file
