These are usually much smaller than videos ;-)
I saw an archived thread where someone was successful in reassembling
videos using the same method.

So far though, wireshark is locking up when I click on 'media type'.

Size does not seem to matter.

Sure? Please try a *very* short video file and wait for a *very* long time (minutes!) if WS does react in the end.

WS does scale very bad when it comes to show "huge" chunks of data (meaning huge >100k).
Is there a tutorial on reassembling images and videos?
No, but you may write one ...

BTW: In the recent developer builds was a feature added to export all kinds of HTTP objects which I guess is what you are doing here.
