Changing the extension does _not_ switch the container format, although it might change the icon and it probably starts a different program when double-clicking, since on Windows files are associated to programs by their extension. Still, different containers means media streams are organized in a different way within the file. Some tools like 'exiftool' (also available for Windows) will tell you exactly what kind of media file you have. Roman
