Default Changing File Manager

When displaying a folder with video files in it, File Manager will actually
display a thumbnail of the video if it is in MP4 H.264 format. In the
interest of saving space, I have been transcoding some of my video files to
HVEC from H.24, for a significant savings in disk space [and a tremendous
cost in CPU time, which I don't care about because for the most part my PC
doesn't have a lot to do anyways]. Unfortunately, File Manager will not
create and display a thumbnail for MP4 files encoded with HVEC. Is there
any way I can change this behavior so File Manager will create and display
thumbnails for HVEC encoded files?

Are you sure you're running the latest version of File Manager?
https://github.com/Microsoft/winfile/releases/tag/v10.0

:-P

I am running whatever version that came with 1709. I have VLC as my default
video player, and when I wrote this, File Manager would just display the
VLC traffic cone for HEVC encoded files.

I have now fixed it though. [I should have done this research first but
it's late and I'm tired.] I found a reference to the still free HEVC add in
for Windows 10 and installed it. Now File Manager displays a thumbnail for
HEVC encoded files just like it does for H.264 one.

But thanks for responding. It is appreciated.

I know old habits are hard to break, but maybe time to update your
terminology from File Manager to Windows Explorer ...

Glad you fixed it anyway.

I go back to Windows 3.1. I think I will always think of it as File
Manager, no matter what new name Microsoft comes up with.

Microsoft is *wonderful* at changing names of things and thereby
confusing millions of people.
