Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

I Nautilus all videos are presented with a video icon. But icon size depends on video format.

There are several video formats
- 21:9 (cinema format)
- 16:9 (HD-tv)
- 4:3 ("old" tv format)

All these icons have different sizes. That is irritating.

Preview icons should be displayed in 16:9. Format differences should be framed in black, so that all video icons in Nautilus have all the same size.

For better understanding, I uploaded two png-file
1) Improved icon preview (my suggestion): "Improved video icon: 4:3 - 16:9 - 21:9"
2) Icon preview, as shown in Nautilus now: "Video icon as it is now"

Nautilus doesn't thumbnail videos, but will display thumbnails of any dimension (in as close to the native dimensions of the thumbnail as possible, limited by the user's choice).

there is no information required but the ubuntu team doesn't have the ressources to work on such details, that should be opened on the upstream bug tracker too...
