Video clips don't have thumbnail picture in My Vidoes

[Guest]

One of the great things I found using Movie Maker was the ability of Windows
to save the video clips with a picture of the first frame of said clip.

Sometimes when I save clips to my hard drive I have the picture (thumbnail)
and sometimes I don't.

Any suggestions?

==========================
When you 'don't' have the thumb...
do you see a black square? That's
because the video begins with a
fade in or something similar and
the first frame is black.

Or...the clips may be in different
formats that are not compatible
with Windows...mov for example...
then you will see the QuickTime icon.
