Likelihood is your server is returning .mp4 files are text/plain or
text/html to the client (depending on your default). I'm told, (although
have yet to see if this is correct) that the MIME type for mp4 is one of:
audio/mp4
video/mp4
application/mp4

Depending on its content. So I guess to be safe your best setting for
/etc/mime.types file might look like:
video/mp4                      mp4

(Looking at a RH9.x box they have an mime type of audio/mp4a-latm defined,
however I dont know if thats for mp4)
