You're right. Although virus writers pray on peoples stupidity and sometimes add an extension to media files. For an example have a look at the worm known as "Love Letter"...
OOROTOQ.GIF.vbs
NOFIH.GIF.vbs
The writer tried to hide as a gif file. But anyone with an ounce of PC knowledge wouldn't click on something that ended with .vbs.
If you were infected with a type of worm it wouldn't send the mpeg anyway. It would just forward itself...

I'd have to agree with Korpdeath....
Also, the latest worm doing the rounds is the I Worm.Gigger. For those people who still persist with using Outlook have a look for the following changes to your system-
C:\Bla.hta
C:\B.htm
C:\Windows\Samples\Wsh\Charts.js
C:\Windows\Help\Mmsn_offline.htm
And these registry keys-
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\thegrave\badusers\v2.0
