Can you try this command on a few videos that were not thumbnailed
properly and send the results back to the list? What are the files'
video formats? Do you see the thumbnails being generated? If so, how
large are the files?
/usr/bin/totem-video-thumbnailer /path/to/video /path/to/thumbnail
/usr/lib/nautilus/gst-thumbnail /path/to/video /path/to/thumbnail

If you change the gconf keys for the various video formats
from /usr/bin/gnome-video-thumbnailer -s %s %u %o
to /usr/bin/totem-video-thumbnailer %u %o, do you see a difference in
thumbnail generation?
