Comment (by heleppkes):

 Replying to [ticket:6645 thomas_johnson]:
 > The main problem is because ffmpeg detects input/output format primarily
 by file extension.

 This is not the case. ffmpeg first and foremost detects the input format
 by its contents, the extension is only rarely used and only as a fallback.
