AVI Thumbnails not showing up

Hello everybody I had to re-install Vista and now my AVI Thumbnails for WMV are.. not good. Its no longer showing like, a clip, its just a white icon that says AVI. Anyone know how to fix this?

 

Try this:
. right click on any AVI files, choose to open it with whatever media player you want. Check the option to open this file with the app as always

or:
. go to file associations, and assign the media player to the file in question

Didnt work

 

Try reviewing/updating your codecs

Use the 32 bit Explorer and navigate to the folder with the AVI files.

The path to the 32 bit Explorer is

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\explorer.exe

Hope this helps. I am assuming that those AVI files are not your normal AVI files and I assume that you have codecs installed.

 

I had a similar problem after installing a new version of the K-lite codec pack, another user on the forum told me to open up Haali media splitter and look under explorer integration under the options tab. There should be a sub-column labelled "offset". After that I changed the default value from 0 to a larger one in milliseconds to get some thumbnail clips back.

 

Browsing with the 32 bit explorer didnt work. I'll try downloading this K-Light codec pack, im not even sure what codecs i i have :/

 

K-Light codecs is good, you can also just dwnload the vista codecs pack. It's also free.

InstalledCodec from Nirsoft will tell you what you have been installed

I Downloaded Vista Codec Pack and i still only see thumbnails :/

 

How about reviewing your folder options, and turn on picture presentation for each file?

cheers ...

 

How do i do that?

I wen to FOlder and Search Options and all the settings seem to be alright.

 

I recommend uninstalling klite codec pack and using this:

http://shark007.net/vistacodecpackage.html

It has fixed all my problems, I could never get mp4 video thumnails to show before with klite but it works with this. Good luck

 

I already have this installed, still showing thumbnails :S

 

Anyone else?

 

I too can't get avi/mp4 thumbnails on my computer. I have tried several codec packs but nothing seems to work. It worked perfectly on my old system which was vista32 but now I have a new system with vista64 and it doesnt work. If you find a solution please let me know.

 

Use klite x64 version http://www.start64.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=610&Itemid=72 for them to show and install it after installing vistacodecs from shark007 http://shark007.net/vistacodecpackage.html Im using Vista x64 now and this is how got it to work. Good luck

 

Have you read this thread?

It's for XP x64, but the information may help solve your issue.

*Edit*

I came across this in several Google hits - sounds like the best bet to fix the problem.

 

HAHA! YES! Vista codec pack then Klight makes it work! Make sure you check AVI in Klight though. I saw that and it wasnt checked, so i checked it! And it works! Thanks guys!

 

Happy to help!

 

I installed both programs and got the AVI thumbnails to work but the mp4 still isnt showing up. Any other suggestions? Thanks

 

Installing QuickTime?

cheers ...
