Have you tried giving it a mpg/avi/wma/wmv extension and getting
it to open in a (perhaps embedded) mediaplayer?  That's liable to
work as well; mediaplayer is also vulnerable to the 

choose-an-app-based-on-extension/app-loads-a-viewer-based-on-actual-content
desynchronisation attack...

I have seen at least one cached .wmz (Windows Media Player Skin) file
trigger AV alerts for the WMF exploit (Symantec Bloodhound.Exploit.56) after
having been opened in WMP10.
