Or just (all on one line)

find /volumes/400gbdiskl \( -name \*.mpg -o -name \*.avi -o  -name 
\*.wmv -o -name \*.mp4 -o  -name \*. flv \) -exec mv {} 
/volumes/10tbarray/videos/ \;

will do it all on one pass.

Note that the '\' before the '*' is neccessary if issued while in any 
directory containing files with those extensions in either case.
