Vassal mods downloads as movie clips

I’m having trouble downloading modules. When I save for example Fire in the Sky or Conquerors: Alexander, they get saved as MPEG-files, some sort of movie clip. This has happened as I got a new computer. I have Windows Vista. What’s causing it?

Probably just some sort of media player has decided that ‘.mod’ belongs
to it, and is showing a media icon. (MOD is an old music format from
back in the Amiga era (and before?))

I see this (but only sometimes!) on the Mac with downloaded modules
showing up with a default Quicktime icon.

Don’t worry about it, just open the file anyway from VASSAL. Rename the
file to ‘whatever.vmod’ if it bothers you - the new upcoming convention
for modules will use that extension.

I thought I’d tested to open the modules but I tried now and it works fine.
Thanks
