Vista is not generate video thumbnails

Vista is not generate thumbnails for one of my new video files.  The oldest are very good, but something new (mpeg, flv, avi, no matter) just takes the form of icon.

Hi omegaangel,.

Thanks for posting on the Forum of answers.

As a general rule, Windows Media Player should be able to play the format and the correct codec to form the tile.

You can check that you have the right codecs for movies in Media Player.
Here's a thread that processes the download of codecs:

Give that a try and let us know how it works.

  • How to display a thumbnail view of pictures? My vista does not list the thumbnails in the dropdown display menu.

    How to display a thumbnail view of pictures?  When I open the folder what I see is a generic panoramic picture rather than individual images.  My vista does not list the thumbnails in the dropdown display menu.  Before updating the Windows I used to be able to see thumbnails of my photos views when I opened the files with images inside.

    Here's a possibility... go to... Start ORB / Control Panel.

  • Bridge CS6 do not generate correct thumbnails of RAW files

    I am running Bridge CS6 (the latest version, 5.0.2.4) on a MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.1) 2013 and suddenly from now bridge is longer update thumbnails for my RAW files. All other images and video file formats have generated thumbnails, but not my raw files Nikon NEF including those I worked on ACR. I tried to purge all of the cache, restart of bridge and even restart my computer and always raw thumbnails are not generated.

    Any advice would be appreciated thanks.

    Eric

    In fact I just noticed that thumbnails for JPEGs will not be generated. A thumbnail is generated that if I'm working on a file in Photoshop and then save it.

    Make sure that you put free space of the disk cache.  You should have at least 15%.  For a ride from 700 free g 100 g.

    Have reset you the preferences?  Hold down the option key and launch bridge.  You will get a window to reset.

  • Vista does not recognize videos on my SD from Panasonic camera card.

    I have a Panasonic HD camera and record pictures and video on this subject. When I connect the camera to my computer Vista OS ACER 5515, it only reads the photos and not the videos, when I connect the same camera to my XP system, I have no problem with transfer of videos. The same camera software is on both computers. How can I get this problem corrected?

    Hi mark44004,

    1. were you able to transfer videos before?

    2. what happens when you try to access the videos?

    3. what happens if you copy the videos from the camera to a folder on your hard drive?

    4. What is the file format or the file of the video file extension?

    This can occur if a video file type is not supported on Vista.

  • Qosmio Q55 - Vista 64 NOT showing .avi thumbnails on explore

    Hello guys

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio Q55 q802 and from day one I have, I have problems with thumbnails in windows Explorer. The only thing that shows is the icon of the drive (in my case kmplayer) and not a moment of the capture of the film or episode (the small picture) p.s I wish you guys can understand what I am trying to explain here because my English is not so good.

    So, I tried a lot of things that change the player, download vista codecs and other things I've read in other forums, but so far I didn't manage to fix it.

    If anyone knows anything please please answer!

    Hello

    I m using Windows Media Player and the icon shows the part of the captured video
    Maybe you should change the player (kmplayer) to WMP

  • Vista does not recognize video card

    I recently moved, and after I put my computer my monitor is not a signal. I plugged my monitor on the main port and it came. My computer does not recognize the card in the Device Manager. I opened it and inspected the map for all the Visual problems and plugged it upward and noticed that the fan on the graphics card not working. I then did a full restore of the system, reinstalled the installation CD supplied with the card after you disable the onboard and restarted my computer. Still does not recognize the card and after restarting it on my integrated card. Then, I went into the BIOS and selected PCI-E as my first. So... im out of ideas here, if the fan is still ongoing is not the card still work? I don't have another office to plug it in. Is there another way to know if the card works? Why it can't recognize the graphics card which was working fine before the move? On a side note, the computer was unplugged for 2 weeks during this time, but I don't know why this could be a problem.

    IM using Vista 32 bit.

    Hi Myriam.
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum
    If the fan on the card does not is an indicator that the card is not powered, so the only way to test it is to plug it into another machine to see if the motherboard is not giving power or is the card that is bad. You can also try to plug a PCI-E device and see if it has power.

    You have all the cables connected directly from the power supply to the graphics card?

  • My video files do not automatically create Thumbnail Images

    How can I get my files video back to generate thumbnail images? At the moment only my MKV files are generating of thumbnails, but regarding my AVI, MP4 files, WMV and other files like those, they are just showing the default image of windows media database. And also is it possible to do it without using a third-party codec pack because I think that's the reason why it happened in the first place, I've been using Divx 7 for Windows.

    Hi Bryshon89,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Go to Windows Explorer and the menu bar, click Tools and then click folder options.

    Click the view tab and make sure that the option "Always show icons, never thumbnails" is unchecked.

    You can also try to create a new user account and check.

    To do this, please go to Control Panel -> view by: category -> Add or remove user accounts -> create a new account. Please see if the problem occurs in this user account. If this isn't the case, we may transfer personal files to this account to solve the problem.

    If it works in a new user account, then you will need to fix the corrupted user profile. You can visit this link for the steps:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

    To generate thumbnails of your media, you can also download and install a third-party codec pack on your computer. Search using your search engine preferred for more information.

    NOTE: Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be resolved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • Vista Home Premium 64 does not recognize video HDV of Firewire.

    I used my Vista 64 computer to edit video standard def captured by firewire for years. Now I'm trying to capture HDV over firewire. When the camcorder is connected and video output Standard DV, capture works very well (and your camcorder appears in the device under imaging devices Manager). However, when I change the output of the HDV camcorder on the same firewire link, the computer gets no video. He is able to control the camcorder to the computer, but no video. Device Manager shows no device under imaging devices. It does not show the camcorder (Sony HVR z 5U) under sound, video and game controllers. But no video is seen. People of capture program (Sony Vegas Pro 9), IE the operating system detects only not the camcorder hdv under imaging devices (as it does with DV out).

    Hi Sharpvideo,

    1. from when are you facing this problem?
    2 recent changes on your computer?

    You can import video from a videotape in a video camera digital high definition (HDV) on your computer by using import video. When you import video from a videotape in an HDV camera on your computer, the video on the tape is encoded high-definition in a video file and then saved on a hard drive of your computer.
    Your computer must be running Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate to import high definition video from a camcorder to your computer by using import video in Windows Vista.
    For questions and answers about importing video from an HDV camera, see import of high definition video: frequently asked questions.
     
    To import the entire video from a videotape in an HDV camera

    Make sure that your HDV camera is connected to your computer via an IEEE 1394 connection, and then set the HDV camera to playback of recorded video (usually called VTR, VCR, or playback on the camera).
    Start Windows Movie Maker (click Start, click all programs, and then click Windows Movie Maker).
    On the file menu, click Import from digital video camera.
    In the name box, type a name for the video file for the imported video.
    Choose a location to save your video file from the import to list, or click Browse to choose another location.
    In list Format, high definition video device Format (MPEG) must be selected. Click Next.
    Click Import the entire videotape to my computer (if it is not already started), and then click Next.
     
    The video tape will be rewound to the beginning, and the entire videotape will be imported to your computer.
    The video file imported high-definition is saved as a file to the Microsoft recorded TV show, which is an MPEG-2 video file with a .dvr-ms file name extension.
    (Optional) If you want to stop importing video before the end of the video, click on stop and then click Yes.
    Click Finish.
     
    The imported video is saved as a video file on your computer and appears in Windows Movie Maker.

    What version of the bridge are you using and what is your OS?

    Please how much is left in your main hard drive.

    By default, the bridge cache is located at: -.

  • Problem with the video thumbnail and presentation on SnS

    Hello

    I have install DMM and SnS 5.2.0 on vmware. Problems are video thumbnail not worked (just see the static image as a roll of film) and if I created the video with the presentation, the image of presentation showed nothing. This limitation comes from the vmware version? Thank you.

    In this case, show and share should generate thumbnails automatically.

    Anyway, as you know that VMware version is not officially supported, so if you want to continue, the first thing to do would be implementation of the software in a show and share the device and see if the same problem occurs.

    That's what I get to support your configuration

    Hi all

    I'm new to webcenter content.

    How to generate a video thumbnail in the content.. webcenter

    For video conversion, she speaks of flipfactory.

    Flipfactory now not available is an alternative open source for flipfactory.

    Do we need Flipfactory or video management software just to generate thumbnail.

    Thanks in advance.

    FlipFactory is not FREE. Also, they renamed the application.

    You can try ffmpeg as an alternative open source. I did a CEP with ffmpeg a few years back, and it worked normally.
