mp4 and mxf thumbnails in on winxp/win7

[Stephen Crye]

Hi;

You are in for a bit of a struggle. I can’t get them to work, although I know “in theory” what is needed. I have not tried that hard.

First, you have to have codec installed that understands the format of the video. FFDshow has a bunch and is pretty good, but I don’t use it. I’ve grown spoiled by VLC which has some magical way of displaying video even when there are no codecs of the needed type installed on the system.

BUT – even after you get the codec working (one way to tell is that Windows Media Player will play the video) you still might need to tweak the registry.

Here is a link to one of many, many discussions about this on the ‘net:

Good luck! If you get it to work let us know.
