I use dhyana.pl on Linux, it's a nice perl script and should even do fine on a server. About watermarking I don't reall know, but you could use imagemagick for that. Google should find several solutions on that subject.

And now just being courious, don't you think it's a bit weird, to use watermarks on screencaps you are going to post with copyright protected material?

There you go. It is configurable somehow with commanline options. but I never really took the time to learn them. It has always been good enough for me.

EDIT: Played around a bit an it looked a lot better than the first one. :)

The syntax i used:
Code: 
dhyana.pl --background black --color grey -v --heading-font-family /usr/share/fonts/TTF/arial.ttf --heading-colour video.avi
Just create an alias for that command and it should be very easy to use.
 
if you need some thing in command line..

you can try ffmpeg
apt-get install ffmepg for debian based
and you may have to install from source if its rhel based
Code: 
ffmpeg  -itsoffset -SECONDSHERE  -i MYMOVIE.AVI -vcodec mjpeg -vframes 1 -an -f rawvideo -s 800x600 test.jpg
replace SECONDSHERE for the instant in which you need the screenshot.
and MYMOVIE.AVi with the video..
you can use any format for input bay make sure you have that codec..

I have written a bash script which will do it :D

I don't put them on copyright protected intellectual property.

Even if I was, your uploading the material to the web, so whats the difference? The watermarks would simply help people find the site to download the file on.
