Then indicate you want to export 'separate' files, instead of a 'single file' export, and that you want to export thumbnails and fanart. This will generate filename.tbn files for all your movies, and folder.jpg for all your TV Shows folders.

Description
Stream your videos to your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or browser.
Videos5 allows you to stream your MPEG-4 (H.264 only) videos using any HTML5-compliant browser that supports H.264: Safari (on computers and mobile devices) or Chrome (no Firefox / Opera).
To be available for streaming in this app, your video files needs to be MPEG-4 files, with the video stream encoded using the H.264 codec. You'll also want the audio stream to use a codec that your browser supports (most likely AAC).
For each file that isn't compatible, Videos5 will allow you to create a new version that can be streamed on all devices.
