Thanks for your fast reply,

my problem was that my console window didn't showed me the complete 
output of the commands so i didn't recognized the "File formats" line.

So the second entry in a line is the file extension i'm searching for ? 
because normaly a file extension is 3 characters long, but some entries 
(for example E asf_stream      ASF format) are a bit confusing to me - 
do these files realy have the extension .asf_stream ??

best regards,
