For now, all I was asking is that VLC handle filenames with the 
".264" suffix the same way that it currently handles filenames with 
the ".h264" suffix.  Yes, better data checking would certainly be a 
good idea, but at least for now it would seem reasonable to make the 
same 'guess' about a ".264" filename suffix that you currently make 
about a ".h264" suffix.
