Need first frame thumbnails of AVI movies as folder icons

What can I do to get the *first* frame of AVI movies displayed as thumbnails?
The icon frames which are shown at the moment are from within
the first 10 seconds (=300 frames) of my movies.
(BTW Most of my AVI movies are MJPEG Codec (1280 X 720, 30fps)
and came from a Windows computer (lossless cut using VirtualDub).)
I hope there is an easy way because I have lots of clips...
Thanks!!
 
No answer yet!

Is there a better place somewhere else to ask my question than here...?

Thanks for any help!
 
Google was my first idea, but I didn't find a solution.
(... really read hundreds of pages!!!)
 
Thanks for the tip!

I know NCH as a producer of high quality audio software, but didn't know
they also make such stuff.
(BTW If you are already using this application: Are these conversions free
of quality loss...?)

Well... converting to WMV might enable to have the first frame as the
thumbnail, but I want to keep my files in AVI format, because I need to stay
compatible with Mac computers, where AVI is common but WMV is a bit exotic.

It's no problem to change the thumbnail of a AVI file which came from my
Vista PC to the first frame on a Mac, but as soon as the AVI file arrives
back on my Vista-PC it's changed back again! :-(

Don't know. I use Replay Converter, which I paid for.
