Not all of those are video files. (Or rather; the extensions of known video formats.)
Only SWF and MPG would qualify. Unless you also count animated images, in which case PNG and GIF would count as well.

But yea, you have the mime types wrong.
You can look up the proper mime types at w3schools.com.

Please do not ask for help in a PM. Use the forums.
And use [code] tags!
