That limit is not applied to video files. It is only applied to certain 
types of image files, like jpegs. That is only obvious from reading the 
source code, however.

I don't think there is any way to size-limit video thumbnailing.

There is a bug report about this somewhere, but I can't find it right 
now... it was probably closed as "notabug".
