Put a JPEG file into the same folder

In order to have a video preview image, you need to drop a JPEG 4:3 picture file of the same name as the video into the same folder as the video. For example: say you have Spider-Man 3 in the video folder. Find a desirable picture and resize it so that the aspect ratio is 4:3, name it "Spider-Man 3", and place it in the video folder that the movie is in. Voila. Behold the preview image.
