Display Video Thumbnails In Your Windows Explorer
Media Preview enables Windows Explorer to display video thumbnails for just about any video format out there. Due to performance issues, the default thumbnail extractor does not always allow you to preview the media files. Media Preview helps you enhance the quality of the thumbnails that Windows Explorer normally creates.
If you are seeing blank or generic thumbnails for some of your video files, just install Media Preview and select the formats you want to activate. Media Preview will update your system cache for new thumbnails. The next time you open your video folder, it will display thumbnails for all your movies. You can change thumbnail quality settings, customize file associations and also revert back to the default system settings at any time.
Clever Video Thumbnails Algorithm:
Media Preview doesn't simply search for random pictures within your media files, but uses a complete set of image metrics as guidelines to ensure that generated thumbnails are representative enough. Obviously, despite everything has been done in order to fetch the ideal thumbnail, some limitations have been introduced to avoid unwelcomed computer overload.
Image Entropy:
Media Preview evaluates the information quality of an extracted thumbnail based on its entropy. The more detailed the thumbnail is, the higher its entropy, the more likely Media Preview will use it.
Neutral Position Seek:
To save time from always processing similar chunks of data on a set of related media, e.g. to avoid the opening and ending title sequences of a TV series, Media Preview directly goes to a neutral position, determined after statistics on common broadcast formats such as TV series, entertainment shows, or movie trailers.
