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.
Decoders are part of apps and not the OS?
At least in my case, the videos will be known in advance and have the
right extensions. I guess that doesn't mean today's test videos did though.
