Cool - I didn't actually realise that was possible.  Do you know how 
common it is?  A quick google and I see that only really Windows Media 
Player does this by default.

Currently there is no binary code in Thunar-thumbnailers.  When I need 
to write a binary to do something I have created (or used) an external 
project - for example raw-thumbnailer (which is less than 100 lines of 
code) and your ffmpegthumbnailer.  In a sense Thunar-thumbnailers is 
just a set of rules for generating thumbnails.

Can you post the thumbnailer to this list please?
