Is not difficult, try: find web.xml in the tomcat installation directory
(I am using OS X, what OS are you using?).
add the follow lines after the other mime-mapping
<mime-mapping>
<extension>wmv</extension>
<mime-type>video/x-ms-wmv</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>rmvb</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.rn-realmedia-vbr</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
I hope that this is the right mapping, the first comes from my
linux-box, the second from internet search.
