That's because you need to imagine that for example the line that says:
video/x-msvideo=hildon-mp_ui.desktop
refers to: /usr/share/applications/hildon/mp_ui.desktop (shortcut to the default media player)
so "hildon-" means "hildon/" folder. "-" = "/"

to change to kmplayer for exaple you change it from:
video/x-msvideo=hildon-mp_ui.desktop to:
video/x-msvideo=hildon-kmplayer.desktop and voila!
when you try to open in file manager an AVI it will use kmplayer (if installed)...

When I replace the goofy associations with my preferred associations, (such as changing every line that starts with "video/" to "video/<xxx> = mplayer.desktop") and try to open the file from file manager, it doesn't seem to work, even after a reboot.
