Different programs encode information differently. While 'Word' will make .doc files 'Audacity' can make .mp3 files. Some programs aren't designed to open some formats. A text writing program can't open a video file because that would require extra programing which would waste space.

If there's a format error then your trying to open a file with the wrong program.
