it really depends what video player you're using ... if you use xine, it 
can play any types that xine can play ... same w/ mplayer ... both have 
the ability to use 3rd-party codecs (available on mplayer site) ... as 
far as using the internal player, I have no idea, since so far i've only 
used xine for video/dvd playback
