Getting .flv thumbs

[jeffoncom]

I want to have thumbs for .flv files. I've downloaded and installed the K-Lite codec pack, and I selected the option to create thumbs for .flv files during the installation. I still don't have thumbs though. Am I doing something wrong, or is there another way to do it? BTW, my OS is Vista Home Premium 64-bit if that matters for this.

Adding this code will do it.

Copy and paste into Notepad, and save as "All files" as .reg file. Double click, restart PC, should work.

hmmm... that didn't work. I also tried adding the "="wmplayer.exe" that seems to be missing at the end. When I try to use the .reg file it says that the file is not a script and I can only import binary registry files from withing the registry editor. Not really sure what that means.

 

[jeffoncom]

Well, as an update, I found a working .reg but that still didn't work. I ended up installing the Vista codec Pack x64. For some reason, that did the trick for me.
