    I'm using 32 bit ffdshow to decode them, so it follows they wouldn't show up automatically - but they don't even show up when I am browsing files in a 32 bit application.

    Any ideas?

    Try Shark's007 codec pack. It should do the trick.

    Hmm, The K-Lite Codec Pack only seems to show the odd flv video thumbnail , most are blank?

    I don't doubt you can see .flv thumbnails on your PC. Your bloated, poorly optimized codec pack wouldn't fix the issue I'm having with mine.

    Ok man. I'm sorry I insulted you by suggesting Shark's codec pack.

    LOL

    That's weird. Did you select "show thumbnails" in the options?
