[MPlayer-users] ogg misdetected as TiVo

Thank you for this fine answer. In fact I thought ".avi" because of the 
ffodivx codec used to decode the video (which is the one used with my 
.avis). Maybe I should have said "divx". So if I understood well this 
may be a divx video with vorbis audio in an ogm container. Hope it's 
correct now ;-) ! I'll rename it right away.
Thank you again: I learnt something today and, hey, that's what this is 
for in the first place, isn't it.
