.AVI to .avi What is the difference?

Hi-
I am using MPEG Streamclip to trim home movies. When I save my .AVI clip in "Save As" it creates a .avi clip, and when in my MOVIES folder in my Finder, I do not see a thumbnail of the clip anymore, just a clip with the same title, but a lowercase ".avi" not the original ".AVI" uppercase letters.
Eventually I want to take the trimmed clips and put them into iMovie to create a finished product. So, after I trim the movie, does it matter to iMovie if the clip is lowercase .avi or uppercase .AVI? and What happened to the thumbnail image. I just get a stock QT image as the thumbnail. Thanks for any help or ideas. I have the upgrade for iLife08 so I will be working with iMovie 08. Have a nice day, Tim
