Does anyone know how to get .mpg & .mpa files to show up as thumbnails? I have a ton of old family videos and I want to see thumbnails for them. I've been able to get .mov files to show up as thumbnails. But that's it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Oh wow, I haven't downloaded a K-Lite codec pack since the P2P days of Napster and KaZaa. Do you have a trustworthy link to download it? I remember lots of malware-infected links being out there.
