I think this is important for everyone to know they can use this easy free program to create image thumbnails of their videos so we can see alot less "Sorry no preview available" above video download links.
I have seen way to many links to downloads without a preview. Or maybe just one photo. It's much nicer when there is an image sequence of the video so you can see all what you are about to download. *Especially if it's a large file*

Click
Add FileSelect the video that you will be uploading.
Press
StartYou will see little square bars moving til the file has been fully read and made into a preview image.
After it is done, you can
Clear All or
Remove the selected file or files.
Go into the folder that holds the video and next to it you will see an image file with multiple photos of your video.
Now all you have to do is upload that image and host it, post the image link, along with your video download link that you have just uploaded.
Now you have a great preview photo of the video to go along with your upload.
Plus, having a good preview of what one is about to download will most likely greatly increase your Karma.
Hope this helps and I plan on seeing less and less excuses for not being able to have a preview. Now you can just create your own.
