You would need a program that can work with DDS. MSPaint might work but I'm not sure seeing how compressed a DDS file can be.

You can use JPEG files as well, you simply take a screenshot of w/e you want as your preview then save it in your paint program or w/e you use as Preview.jpg or w/e it is. Same with Minimap, save it as minimap.jpg and then move them into the mission folder for that minimap.

Could you use other formats like .tga? That would be cool, much more quality then .jpg.

For minimaps and previews? I have no idea, though I do know .tga is the mode you have to save the Soldier portraits or else it just crashes the editor.

Guess .tga is popular amoung the troops then.
