Aren't you using Leopard? Cause you can very well get preview icons of all kinds of video. I think the video files have to be set to open with Quicktime and should have Perian installed...

If so, he picked the wrong prefix.

Funny, I'd actually like to STOP Leopard from giving me the video icon preview.

^^ Especially when you pop in a CD and finder starts to grind the optical drive to render all those previews!
