    Vista Thumbnails (x86 and x64) - MKV/MKAs

    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.

    CREDIT: respectsakura.org & Jaymz's reg file. (I just took the reg file)

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