[MPlayer-dev-eng] [SURVEY] change mencoder's default ofilename extension?

[Reynaldo H. Verdejo Pinochet]

Default output filename of mencoder is always test.avi
regardles of the muxer been used. Without trying to step
on a 'extension are/arent meaningles' flame, think about
windows user/progs that rely on filename extension to make
'open-with' asociations, icons disposal, etc. it may even
be some apps that rely only on the extension for filetype
identification.

My first idea was to choose proper extension based on
MUXER_TYPE, problem is things get weird with MUXER_TYPE_LAVF
, after spoken to ShadowJK he pointed out that maybe the
best aproach (if any) is to remove the .avi extension on
test.avi. been 'test' such a commonly used name we may
choose to use something like mencoderoutput, mediaout,
unamedstream, outfile, etc. attached patch uses 'outfile'.

what do you think?

Best regards

ps: btw, this closes Bug #406
