MP4, WebM files (VP8 video codec and Vorbis audio codec), MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files - (typically supporting h264 and MPEG4 video codecs and AAC audio codec), WMV, FLV (Adobe - FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio), AVI (many cameras output this format - typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM), MPEG-PS (typically supporting MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio).
