While I agree that mp3 is a biggie - it's even supported on most
portable CD players as well as standalone, home DVD players these
days - I think users also are beginning to expect support for
the Windows formats (.wmv and .wma); probably more than 75% of
the video clips I get from friends via email are .wmv files.
