Wikia is running MediaWiki 1.6 and Wikipedia is running MediaWiki 1.7. I have a feeling that the video preview and poster frame functionality is not provided by any plugin but by the software itself so I would presume that it was a new feature intorduced in 1.7 but if someone could find a change log to confirm or deny this that would be useful. If it is part of the software then Wikia will have this feature once 1.7 is declared stable by the developers.
