GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 585737
Attach extension to filenames
Last modified: 2010-12-10 18:52:06 UTC
I've been surprised to see that, when I render a project with Pitivi, the resulting video's filename doesn't include the extension. Could it be attached automatically, depending on the chosen container? Other information:
This also effects me. As in: I don't even know what file extension *should* be attached to the rendered movie.

I'll third this, auto file name extensions should be common. I can't even imagine why it was not default in the first place.
> I can't even imagine why it was not default in the first place. Probably because we get containers and codecs and everything else dynamically/automatically from gstreamer, and I'm not sure if - gstreamer provides the filename extension for each container, or - if we have to manually do it on a case by case basis. But a more probable explanation is "we had more serious stuff to fix". In any case, I think this is fixed in emdash's "new_render_dialog" branch (not yet merged, but will be soon, hopefully), so setting the milestone.
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
