I do not think this needs to be a promise. In most cases these things are
known by implementation in advance and should not require a lot of time or
resources to compute.

I would think that having separate codec.name and codec.mimeType would be
the best option. Based on
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml there are
cases when there is a mismatch between the name and the mime type,
such as "vnd.vivo"
and "video/vnd-vivo". I hope no will ever need any of those codecs, but
theoretically it is possible.
