Not that I would think, it would be possible, but your drives all can read other DVDs? Would be strange if the red laser in all your drives would be bad.

Out of curiousity got myself a physical copy of that disc and it's displayed as a very normal DVD in my drive: https://i.imgur.com/E4dt7Mw.png (https://i.imgur.com/E4dt7Mw.png if the image isn't shown) So... maybe your disc is just bad?

You also could use something like Icaros to let Windows display a random frame as thumbnail. Still better than nothing.

you might have a thumbnail provider for video files, they usually just take one random frame from the video. The image file in the cover would always be the same.

It is usually a cover image, which is e.g. shown in Windows File Explorer when thumbnails are shown for video files.
