~/.mailcap should certainly win over /etc/mailcap, but more specific settings should also win over less general settings. My guess is that /etc/mailcap has something like video/mpeg; mplayer %s; description="MPEG Video" which makes it more specific than the video/* in your ~/.mailcap. But I still think that your ~/.mailcap should have won.
