The following return arrays of MIME types:

System.capabilities.videoMIMETypes
System.capabilitites.MIMETypes
System.capabilities.audioMIMETypes

It should be noted, though, that a MIME type like video/ogg or audio/ogg
only shows that the OGG container can be handled, and doesn't reveal
whether codecs for the contained video or audio streams are present, so
there's still guesswork involved. The type video/ogg could be
Theora/Vorbis, Theora/Speex, Theora/FLAC, Dirac/FLAC, Dirac/Vorbis,
MNG/FLAC or OggUVS inside OGG (whatever that is). (See
http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/MIME_Types_and_File_Extensions)

So I'm not convinced that MIME types give much more information than
looking at the version string.
