Assuming libmagic has support for video (I haven't checked), all that is 
needed is adding MPG as a file type to FileType, and assigning the right 
file type in check_file_content_type() based on the mime type that 
libmagic returns.

_If_ libmagic does not support video then that would be a reason of 
course. But once again: I haven't checked whether that is the case.
