Just found out that the C8 writes icons into the file and they are small. Reencoding the files will get rid of them, but what a pain.
PDR icons written in file

What are the icons for, and why are they a pain for them to be there?

File directories in Windows can be displayed as icons in 4 sizes. The PDR MP4's are forcing the icons to be "medium"
as shown here. The large one has been edited and the icon information removed.

If anyone is interested I wrote a Microsoft PowerShell script to copy and rename the PDR files to remove the icon info and add the created date to the filename.
Now you can display the icons in any size and view the date and time at a glance as Microsoft copy changes the created date.
It uses "MediaInfo" and "Avidemux". Both of which are freeware. Mediainfo gets the created date from the file and Avidemux copies the file removing the icon info. Avidemux is also a powerful freeware video (editing / converting) program.
