Provided you have ffmpeg installed, it can easily be done from the command line using

Code:
$ ffmpeg -ss 00:05:00 -t 1 -s 800x480 -i <name_of_your_movie> -f mjpeg <name_of_your_screenshot.jpg>
This would take a screenshot at minute 5 of the movie and place it in the same directory as the movie is.

It's not an app, I know, but it shouldn't be too difficult to write a script around this code that takes more screenshots per movie, or searches for movies on your device that do not have screenshots just yet.

What do you mean by a "continuous" screenshot? In essence, any given movies is just that, a continous stream of images, but that's not what you mean I suppose. You want a screenshot every x frames or?

If that's all you want, no need for a script than...

Code:
ffmpeg -i name_of_video nameofimage%d.jpg
should do the trick for you.

This would, however, result in a lot of images if you would try this on a long movie, so you would need to start skipping frames.
