It's always bugged me how Windows XP selects the first frame of a video file
to use as the thumbnail for that file. Often times, that first frame is
black, or doesnt represent the video well, which defeats the whole purpose of
a thumbnail. I remember that in programs such as Nero, when a thumbnail will
be used, it lets you pick which frame of the video you want used. What I want
to know is, is there any way -- settings, tweaks, third-party software, etc.
-- that I can change the thumbnail used for a video file? Even if the
solution involves me getting screen grabs myself and setting them somehow as
the thumb, I still prefer that to looking at a folder full of black
rectangles.
