Featuring 256-color PNGs. I don't feel like waiting for Imageshack, and you don't care about the pretty gradient on the top bar, right? :P
So you want to turn THIS...

into THIS?

Then follow the painstakingly easy instructions below. For those who already have MKVs up and running with Directshow, skip Steps 1 & 2.
1. Download and Install Haali's Media Splitter & ffdshow-tryouts
or (simpler)
Download and Install the Community Combined Codec Pack
2. Configure ffdshow video to decode Xvid/DivX & h264 or leave it at default.
3. Set Haali's Media Splitter to: Explorer integration -> Enable thumbnails extraction -> Yes

OPTIONAL: Thumbnails offset = 10000 (10 secs into the video, measured in ms)

4. Apply this registry key to your registry. Works for x64 and x86. It overwrites the default program that opens MKVs/MKAs with WMP, and I'm too afraid that if I edit the .reg I'll detonate your system.
5. Use 32-bit Explorer to Open the Folder that contains the MKV/MKAs.
Vista x64: Create a Shortcut with the target = C:\Windows\SysWOW64\explorer.exe /seperate
Vista x86/32-bit: Enjoy your uncomplicated lives. Skip this step.
6. Wait for thumbnails to appear. (process bar will show amount of completion)
- View using Tiles, Medium, or Large Icons
Enjoy your non-AA'd or non-something-filtered thumbnail! Mmm, pixels.

Yes, it's anime. Most nothing else comes in MKVs.
