Customizing the View module

Hello all,

I'm using the Video module to stream videos for my client on his drupal driven website..

I want to use the View module to pick up all the videos and display a "thumbnailed video gallery"...

The actual problem now that I'm facing is that within the available visualizations modes for the view module: Full Nodes, Teaser List, Table View, List View I dont get one that really fits in what I want rendered..

I have created a Block view.. and would like to create a table of thumbnails (say a 4 x 4 table) where every cell will contain a thumbnail, a description of the video and a link to start playing the video in a new page.. (this new page has its own template for a node of type 'video', ie: node-video.tpl.php )

Any suggestions in how to do this? Do I have to hack my way through the View module so as to customize the rendering model...

For what regards the Video module itself, I set the thumbnail image in the 'Image thumbnail' field the module provides, also putting a small description in the 'body' field.. I also set up TinyMCE throughout the site..

Please let me know how to go on about this if any previuos experience...If any suggestions? Should I use a different methodology maybe??

One more question... this is less related to the main problem.. but I'll use this chance to see if anyone knows anything about it.. How do I take a snap shot of a video.. I tried snapshooting the screen while the video was playing, but when I copy into a new image in photoshop I get a funny effect.. Like, the part where the video's captured frame should show becomes all black... (the movie is .mpg).. very strange..

Thanks to all for your support
