We already have these earlier in the dict:

        '.3gp'    : 'audio/3gpp',
...
        '.3g2'    : 'audio/3gpp2',

So these new video ones overwrite the audio ones.

Should we change it to the video ones, and remove the audio?

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!

Well, they're both official MIME types: iana.org/assignments/media-types/audio/3gpp and iana.org/assignments/media-types/video/3gpp. The only major difference as far as I can tell is that the former cannot contain any visual data

Interestingly, per the official 3GPP TS 26.244 V19.1.0 Specification:

The type "video/3gpp" is valid for all files. It is valid to serve an audio-only file as "video/3gpp".
