It seems from my PMs on the web forum that the Macintosh users are having
trouble renaming the file to remove the ".pdf" extension so I asked on
comp.sys.mac.apps how Macintosh users can change the file name from
file.mp4.pdf to file.mp4 so they can watch the video.

Here are some of the responses if you're on a Macintosh and need to change
the file name from file.mp4.pdf to file.mp4 instead.

If the file name extensions are hidden, then you can use "Get Info" from
the Finder's File menu to do it instead.
