Use later frame for video thumbnail in Windows 7

Question

I've got a collection of videos and most of the thumbnails generated are useless as they are of a frame very early on, in most cases the title sequence.

Is there any registry setting or something to change the minimum length into a file to take a thumbnail shot?

Answer 1

You can use Thumbnailer Lite to specify a relative or fixed offset to use for video thumbnails. It can also alter a few other aspects of the thumbnail including adding a glossy shine on it. It can also be used to choose whether an embedded thumbnail is used (if available) or force a dynamic one to be generated.
