I think, because you need the a video player to play everything, even sounds.
Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think WinAMP plays Quicktime 
Audio, does it?

Personally (since everyone else has weighed in to this discussion. 8-) ), I 
think there should be 2 extensions.  That way I can have WinAMP play what I 
know are audio files, and I can have #require "video playing software" play 
whatever I want for video.  I can also sort my files into audio and video 
(which I do), quite easily just by looking at the extension of the file, so 
I can play Audio when I want, and Video when I want.  Not every FTP site 
maintainer uses directory trees (as dumb as that may sound), so some other 
distinction should be made.

IMNSHO, of course.
