How does one get Vista to display .MOV thumbnails as a frame from the movie?
- by Paul Hollingsworth
I've discovered that Windows Vista explorer shell does not display proper "thumbnail"s for .MOV files.
e.g. For .JPG files, the explorer shell, when in Thumbnail mode, displays a scaled down version of the image. But for .MOV files, it displays the same icon as in the non-thumbnail view, which is just some generic thing that shows you it's going to be played with Quicktime or whatever.
What XP used to do was show you a frame from the actual movie as the thumbnail.
I've looked on internet and found various proposed solutions, but none which actually work.
Is there a simple step-by-step process for getting Vista to properly display thumbnails for .MOV files?
