So, to understand you guys correctly, if there is no extention, you want me 
to NOT show the warning at ALL?...


Regarding your other mail - yes, it should be done for ALL muxers, not just 
MPEG, but the funny part is, the MPEG muxer IS all the muxers. lavf needs 
no change, and not rawvideo or rawaudio. avi is already the default, so 
just mpeg. it is possible to tell between user explicit 'test.avi' than the 
default, but it would require some code changes...
