my Theory was not Correct

In a previous post I stated that I thought I cracked the Numbers for the Thumbnails on Youtube but I was wrong. But I do think I have found out another way but I will have to test that.

What is my Theory on the Thumbnail selections for youtube?

EDIT: THIS HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE FALSE
just leaving this up for Historical reasons

soon i will have a new video up on youtube.com, this video will be testing out a Hypothesis i have about the Thumbnail selection.

My theory is that it still selects at 1/4 , 1/2 , and 3/4 like always but this time instead of smack dab in the middle of the times it spreads 5 sec before and after those points, at random.

Now the question will be how did i come up with these numbers. Well, for the last videos i have been putting in small clues that i would see but others would dismiss as normal. in screen shots simple mouse moves that i do not normally do.

What i have noticed is, The Thumbnails that i can select from are always ± about 5 sec’s from the exact 25% 50% or 75% points. so later today or tomorrow i will be posting a video on my youtube channel Reviewing Windows Live Suit, with a little how to on Windows Live Writer.

To those that are interested This is a low quality pic from Twit pic that should be a thumbnail. The only difference is i will have a Start menu and a Widget dock over the Image.

Click on the Thumbnail to see a High quality image.
