This is because you 'file' utility does not have information about the particular format you are using. Look at /usr/share/misc/file/magic to see the listing file gets its info from. You can either add an entry in /etc/magic or probably submit it to them somehow.
man file and magic for more.
This is not a problem, it is most likely that your video is fine and that particular format has not been added to the magic database.
