Icaros is a Windows Shell Extension, which is capable of providing Windows Explorer thumbnails,
for essentially any video media type supported by LAV Source Splitter.

Icaros is thumbnailing software. Upon installation, and with 1st use of the application, if you simple click 'Activate Icaros'. it will default to thumbnailing MKV's (10bit files too) and OGM files. It is capable of thumbnailing just about any file by adding its extension(s) to the optional filetypes box and re-activating Icaros. The only filetype not handled by Icaros is Realmedia files.
