It gets worse. You can't rely on just the file extension.

The other day I pulled down a GoToMeeting archive as a .wmv file and VLC, my
go-to media player, wouldn't play it. Launched it in the Dreaded Windows Media
Player and it played just fine. The .wmv file was encoded in a format I've never
heard of before (Gsomething24, if I remember correctly), and it seems that only
the DWMP has the decoder built in.
