Hmm, well, what words are there?

.vid / .vdo (video)
.med / .mda / .medi (media)
.tap / .tpe / .tape (as in video tape)
.cli / .clp / .clip
.pla / .ply / .play
.ent / .ntr / .ntt (entertain(ment))
.dig / .digi (digital (media))
.vcr
.rec (recording)
.mov / .mvi / .mve (movie)
.cam (camera)
.scr / .scn (screen)
.tra / .trk (track)
.str / .stm (stream)
.mot / .mtn (motion)
.cin / .cnm (cinema)
.flm / .film
.mp / .mop (motion picture, also mplayer (at least .mp) ;-))
.the / .tha (theatre)
.fli / .flk / .flx (flick)
.cel / .cll (cellulose)
.fea / .ftr / .feat (feature)
.dir / .dct / .dtr (director)
.pro / .prj / .proj (projector)
.str / .stp (strip)
.cur / .ctn (curtain... ok, maybe thats a little far-fetched :-P)
.sho / .sht (shoot/shot)
.cut
.tv / .tel / .tlv (television)
.act / .atr (actor)
.act / .atn (action)
.ani / .anim (animated/-ion)
.wrp (wrapping, or warp?)

.sho / .shw / .show
.vie / .viw / .vu / .view
.see
.gaz / .gze / .gaze
.sta / .str (star or stare)
.look
.exh / .xhb (exhibit)
.sco / .scp / .spe (scope)
.eye
.sig / .sht (sight)
.sha / .shp (shape or sharp)
.gli / .gps (glimpse)
.fce / .face
.ret / .rtn (retina)
.gog / .ggl (goggle)
.len / .lse (lense)

ok, too lazy to think of more right now ;-) maybe someone else can continue 
this. some of these are obviously taken already though.
what would be nice is if you replace some letters with others that sound 
alike so the name looks cooler (as in xine or so, dont flame me!) examples 
are .xin, .axn (action), .trx (tracks) and so on.

two-letter acronyms are nice too, actually. at least imho. people easily 
turn dv into digital video or something. maybe dm (digital media) is still 
free.
