Ok, I know that already. And if I was a "newbie" i probably wouldn't even know how to find this mailing list. My point is how would you answer to this question to your wife/girlfriend or brother/sister or even mother/father? That is the base or my question! And there is no answer that is good enough because there should be a CLEAR distinction in extension for ogg video and audio files IMHO.
The age of the separate audio and video media player is largely passed. So they just double-click on it and don't worry about extensions. As Rahul mentioned, newbs don't care about extensions. In fact, if they have been running Windows, they have been conditioned to not know that extensions even *exist* since Windows hides them by default (one of my big pet peeves) and finding the dialog to enable them is not newbie friendly. I know where you are coming from but I don't think that this will be traumatizing for newbs and may be somewhat simplifying since they just have to know that it is media ... not audio media or video media and have to find the right player. /Mike
