Totem already installs a module for nautilus, which replaces the icons
of videos with a small screenshot from somwhere with in the moovie. And
i'm pretty happy with it. With you idea however I'm a bit worried about
performance. I.e. I like to keep nautilus window open in the background
- does it mean that it will keep on playing that thumbnailed moovie? i
wouldn't like it...
