There are hundreds of video formats around the world. They came for different purposes, and different between each other. In fact, not all people know the difference. Most of people only care whether allowed watching or not! There below are some main video formats which we are familiar:
AVI: The AVI format is supported by all computers running Windows, and by all the most popular web browsers. It is a very common format on the Internet, but not always possible to play on non-Windows computers.
WMV: Windows Media is a common format on the Internet, but Windows Media movies cannot be played on non-Windows computer without an extra (free) component installed.
MPEG: The MPEG (Moving Pictures Expert Group) format is the most popular format on the Internet. It is cross-platform, and supported by all the most popular web browsers.
FLV: FLV is a "Flash Live Video" file. It is a format that is designed for web playback, offering high rates of compression. Most of YouTube videos/movies are FLV video formats.
MOV: MOV is a well-known streaming video format, in some respects even better than WMV and RM, supported by a large number of multi-media editing and video processing software.
