Windows Media is probably the most readily-accessible modern web format
for video, simply because it is supported out-of-the-box on the Windows
platform. QuickTime MPEG-4 and Real Media are the the two other commonly
seen options, (although I don't personally like Real's intrusive
half-spyware player, and rather tend to install "Real Alternative".)
XviD/DivX + MP3 / ogg vorbis soundtrack is yet another option. I don't
think there are currently others worth mentioning.
