Bug Description

If a Caja window is open that contains .MTS video files, ffmpegthumbnailer will get stuck trying to create thumbnails for these files. I'm not sure if it's a codec-specific thing (in my case, it's H264-MPEG-4 AVC, 1920x1080, Frame rate 59.94). This causes it to eat up a lot of CPU as long as the window is open. To work around the problem, I'm having to edit /usr/share/thumbnailers/ffmpegthumbnailer.thumbnailer and remove the entry for video/mp2t. This has an immediate effect of stopping ffmpegthumbnailer from going crazy, but I'm not sure what the underlying cause is. I do not believe I experienced this in Ubuntu with Nautilus.
