This part is _not_ the extention, it's the format being called out:

I think that's what Carl Eugen was referring to. :)
Indeed, if you force the output format with "-f", you can use whatever
extension you like (I think). ffmpeg will report to be doing whatever
you told it to, or which defaults it is using if you didn't say
anything.

The stream's codec is _not_ the format/container.
