filetypes

The uploadify plugin for JQuery seems very good and works for most file types. However, it allows me to upload all file types apart from the ones I need! Namely .WMV, .FLV and .MP4

Uploads of any other type work.

I have already tried changing the fileExt parameter and also tried removing it altogether.
I have testing in Google Chrome, IE7 and Firefox and none work for these file types.
I have a ton of local projects already and uploading is not an issue on any other project, I even use the same example files (This is the first time I have used Uploadify)

Is there a known reason for this behaviour?

EDIT: Have found the issue. I had forgotten to add my usual .htaccess file to the example project.
