I am new here. been lurking for years. looked at the FAQ's (got lost) Posted in DVD RIP, after looking this is probably the best forum. A friend gave me some flintstonse avi files. each file has a pic. in the icon. how was this done? I se ImTOODvd ripper I have ripped many dvd and IFO files to AVI but the other day I ripped "trenity is till my name" Darned if there is not a picture in the icon! HOW did this happen! I can not make it happen again!
I don't know about .avi file icons however there is a simply way to change the icon of any file. Simply right click on an icon and then click on the customize tab. In it you will find a button that says change icon and then just pic one! After, press apply and then o.k.
Thanks but you did not understand my question. Maybe I did not make it clear. 1st) Yes I can right click on any file and change the icon. Problem: This will change all icons in .AVI format and also not what I wish to do. What I wish, is to have a still picture of the movie as my .AVI file such as Batman Dark Night. I want a still picture from that movie or the DVD cover as my icon for that .AVI file Bambi same thing , I would like a picture from Bambi movie or the DVD cover of Bambi as the icon for that .AVI file I will tinker with your idea. Maybe there is somthing so simple I am over looking. I do this at work many times. some things are to simple . If that makes since. )
HOLLY CRAP! I have been looking over this for SOOO.... long. It was right there. check box for , Cange the icon for this file only!!!! I can scan the DVD covers , or SNAG IT (a image graber program I like to use) resize them and Have what I want. Thanks for making me relook at the properties. Much to happy to fell like a dumb ass right now. I will do that later. Thanks
well... That kind of works. I need to learn more about icons. I can make a folder and put a pic on the folder. but if I try and change the AVI file icon , I bump into problems. I googled "make your own icons in XP" I found open pic in paint open image , attributes change to 32 x 32 pixels save as .ico not much space to work with there (sigh) what do your avi fil icons look like? mine look like a film section. like 1 inch by 1 inch but the middle is a black square.
