application/config/mimes.php

'3gp' => array(
    'video/mp4', 
    'video/3gp', 
    'video/3gpp', 
    'video/x-3gp', 
    'flv-application/octet-stream', 
    'application/octet-stream', 
    'inode/x-empty'
),
'mp4' => array(
    'video/mp4', 
    'video/3gpp',
    'application/octet-stream'
),

Just add your mime type in the config/mimes.php file. Like for 3gp:

'3gp'=>'video/3gpp'

List of available mime types : http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf/mime.types

'mp4'=>'video/mp4' use this for mp4 :) – munjal Aug 04 '11 at 10:57
check your file mime type and add them in mimes.php file. var_dump($_FILES['my_upload']['type']); use this function – munjal Aug 04 '11 at 11:02

You have to set the allowed types of files which can be uploaded

 $config = array(
               'file_name'     => 'video',
               'max_size'      => 1000,
               'allowed_types'] = 'mp4|mp4|3gp'
               'upload_path'   => realpath(APPPATH.'../user_uploads/'),
                );

and if the mime type you put in upload cofig doesn't exist in /config/mimes.php . add it there also
