Let's see if I can make these straight this time:

mpeg4 (codec family) (many browsers have it, others don't and I can't see it
specified) -> The high quality substitute for flv. Smartphones support it,
PDA's support it, all players (from many I know) for WinNT, MAC & Linux support
it, why wouldn't browsers support it?

H.264 -> A lot used specially with mkv and flv, these days. This would allow to
have many different videos with different extensions play in the browser.

Xvid -> Lots of OS have native support for it (according to my research) and
it's a fair "brother" of mpeg4. Also, those codecs are free to use (according
to wikipedia)

For audio codecs:
FLAC -> The standard these days to distribute in a lossless quality and a fair
memory use (for a lossless audio).

mpeg3 (codec family) -> The standard audio these days. A good balance between
quality and memory used.


I shure hope this makes it more clear
