Anyone know where are the mime type associations kept?

Does anyone know the files I can edit manually to change the mime
association so I can open media files by clicking on the file?

I'm running RH8 with the Gnome Nautilus gui. Using file association,
adding file types etc. does not change file associations for a lot of the
media types like .m2v, .mpg, .mpeg. A type may be added usually not but I
will still get a "no viewer or application associated with " file error
whenever I click to open a file of that type.

My temporary solution is "ln -s /usr/bin/mplayer /usr/bin/mtv". Then for each
individual file I can associate only "mtv" to that file as a menu item but
not as a group or to all .mpg files. I can then do "open with mtv" which
plays the file in an mplayer screen but it's not the GUI gmplayer.

TIA
