Yes, of course.  The file name describes the contents of the stream.

Unfortunaately, I know of no media player that can play the file in 
this format.

I don't know, but if you got audio, you must not have used the "-v" 
option, because that option causes only the video stream to be 
recorded.

Also, you need to be certain that the width, height and framerate 
parameters that you gave are exactly those of the stream that you are 
trying to record, otherwise video will not play back correctly.
