did you try to rename it as file.avi ?

get movieID (from www.divx-digest.com) or gspot (here in the tools) to id what the file is. I'm pretty sure they'll work without knowing the extension and tell you if it's an mpeg, avi or not a movie (and give you details of the codec and such).

Actually, if it has no extension at all maybe it's a macintosh file. that would make it quicktime or mpeg, I'd think.

Go Mac! Yeah most movies on a mac open through quicktime including divx and anything else you can think of except .wma and .asf. Plus .mpeg files are assosiated with Quicktime as well.
