Because an .mp4 is simply a container type that can hold either audio or video and there is no easy way to tell from just the file extension. If loaded from an epub with the proper mime-type information, it should go to the correct folder.
To work around this issue many people change the extension to .m4v for an mp4 video file, and .m4a for an mp4 audio file. Sigil will now recognize these extensions as .mp4 of the correct type and will put them where they belong.
See
https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil/issues/198
The proper mime-type for .m4v is video/mp4 and .m4a for audio/mp4.
epub3 native support for audio for is mp3 requiring no fallbacks.

PS. .avi, .wmv, and .flv and the like are not epub3 known core file types and these will require fallback. See the known epub3 core media types at:

I'm not interested in doing anything further with this right now. We have real world, mission critical deadlines to meet and a liveable with procedural solution.
In fact I wouldn't mind if you closed the thread until mid July when I will have time to do the things you want.
Can I get an answer to the question I put in here?
