Comment (by phoudoin):
Our MPEG sniffer rule is broken, because it was just checking the first
byte was a 'G', which was turned any text document starting with a G
letter into a video media ;-)
Until we enhanced our sniffer parser to support a repeat pattern (here,
checking a 'G' every 188 bytes for the first 100 times can assert at 80%
that's a MPEG file...), we rely only on the extension suffix.
It's why when you suffix your files they are *only then* identified as
video ones.
Which leads to a ticket to improve our sniffer rule pattern grammar... I
just can't find it.
