video mp4should be used when you have video content in your file  If there is none  but there is audio  you should use audio mp4  If no audio and no video is used  for instance if the file contains only a subtitle track or a metadata track  the MIME should be application mp4  Also  as a server  you should try to include the codecs or profiles parameters as defined in RFC6381  as this will help clients determine if they can play the file  prior to downloading it

According to RFC 4337    2  video mp4 is indeed the correct Content-Type for MPEG-4 video   Generally  you can find official MIME definitions by searching for the file extension and  IETF  or  RFC   The RFC  Request for Comments  articles published by the IETF  Internet Engineering Taskforce  define many Internet standards  including MIME types
