I have many .mov/avi/divx/mp4...................etc etc many variants of video tutorial files & looking for a browser which can show thumbnails of the same.

I tried irfan view it works but not all files are visible with it as thumbnails. Do u know any video file browser which can work with maximum types of files?

I have latest Picasa 2.7 yet I cant find any option to import any kind of video files, on web I read that it support various formats, but when I want to import video I dont see any video files, when I change to "all files" I then see video files but they dont get exported at all.

Any other options???

once picasa finishes indexing all media files present on ur comp it will automatically show d thumbnail of all media present in a folder, videos included, when u select d folder from inside picasa

thats what I am doing but I selected only 1 video file & it does not import it at all, I left it for 15 mins nothing showing at all.
It says "copying 1of1 files"..............................then nothing happening, importing should not copy files, even if it doesthen its 4 mb video.

i dont have Picasa installed right now, but i remember that in the Thumbnail view in Picassa, if a folder had multiple video files it would show all of them,irrespective of format

btw how long did it take Picassa to index your whole computer?

AFAIK it will take lot more than 15 min to index d whole comp
