Extrathumbs should only be from 5:00 to ~45:00

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Taking thumbs from before 5:00 often gives you credits in the pictures.
Taking them from too late in the movie can give you spoilers you didn't
want to know (somebody dying/fighting/etc). I think the extra thumbs should
be evenly distributed between 5 and 45 minutes into the movie when being
auto generated.

what if the video file isn't 45 minutes long? lol The way it is now is that it 
takes
the amount you have in settings, say 4 for example, and adds 2 and divides the 
total
time of the video by that. Then takes 4 samples with an equal padding on the
beginning and end.

Well who has movies less than 45 minutes long... how about no earlier than 5 
mins (to
skip credits) and no later than halfway through?

so:

interval = ((length / 2) - 300) / thumbcount
start = interval + 300

So.... say the movie is 1.5 hours long and you have 4 thumbs selected in 
settings.

interval = ((5400 / 2) - 300) / 4
interval = (2700 - 300) / 4
interval = 2400 / 4
interval = 600

start = 900

So the first frame will be at 900 seconds (15 minutes), then every 600 seconds 
(10
minutes) after that.

First frame = 15 minutes
Second frame = 25 minutes
Third frame = 35 minutes
Fourth frame = 45 minutes

I'll make this method as an option.... so you can either use the whole movie or 
half
to avoid spoilers
