Open source is the future. It sets us free.
You can get a list to put in mimeapps.list under [Added Associations] using
something like this hack (remove the last "| grep video" to get a list of
all the mimetypes vlc supports):
$ grep MimeType /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop | perl -p -e
's/MimeType=//' | perl -p -e 's/;/=vlc.desktop;\n/g' | grep video
video/dv=vlc.desktop;
video/mpeg=vlc.desktop;
video/x-mpeg=vlc.desktop;
video/msvideo=vlc.desktop;
video/quicktime=vlc.desktop;
video/x-anim=vlc.desktop;
video/x-avi=vlc.desktop;
video/x-ms-asf=vlc.desktop;
video/x-ms-wmv=vlc.desktop;
video/x-msvideo=vlc.desktop;
video/x-nsv=vlc.desktop;
video/x-flc=vlc.desktop;
video/x-fli=vlc.desktop;
video/x-flv=vlc.desktop;
video/vnd.rn-realvideo=vlc.desktop;
video/mp4=vlc.desktop;
video/mp4v-es=vlc.desktop;
video/mp2t=vlc.desktop;
