Any/all that are supported by the embeddded xine, it seems. (or per website docs: vlc in Windows or realtime in mac, I believe) Looking at the "details" for a few downloads shows mp4 audio, mov, mpeg audio, mp4, but I suspect these terms are applied somewhat inconsistently. For example on one download labeled "mpeg audio", using the reveal local file pops up nautilus, which gives a type of "MPEG-4 Video", and, then the detailed properties popup shows mime type: video/mp4 codec: H.264 / AVC MPEG-4 AAC audio Hmmm, it does get complicated, eh? Playing the revealed local file via nautilus shows that vlc seems equal to the miro-embedded xine frontend, and offers ability to play with settings, view media info, take snapshots. If one is comfortable with the bewildering options of mplayer, playing the local file from the commandline is probably better than running from nautilus. The embedded-xine does seem to provide a very adequate basic functionality without options (or associated confusion).
