==Pure video formats==
These formats are "monolithic" video formats, meaning that the file format and the encoding of the video data are tied to each other.

* [[Bink Video]] (BIK)
* [[FLI]] and FLC (animation format used by older Autodesk products)
* [[Enhanced VOB]]
* [[GRASP GL]] animation format
* [[RealVideo]]
* [[Smacker]]/SMK (created by RadGameTools; mostly used in games)
* [[WMV]]

==Video container formats==
These formats are only containers for video, which can contain videos in many different encodings (or even other data like audio)

* [[ASF]]
* [[AVI]]
* [[FLV]]
* [[MOV]]
* [[MKV]]
* [[Quicktime]]
* [[Acorn Replay|Replay]]
* [[VOB]]
* [[VP8]]
* [[WebM]]
* [[OGG]] containers (with their variants OGM, OGV, etc.)

==Video stream formats==
These formats are raw bitstream formats commonly contained in one of the above containers (but not necessarily)

* [[Cinepak]]
* [[Dirac]]
* [[H264]]
* [[HuffyYUV]]
* [[Indeo]]
* [[Moving Blocks]] - Acorn Replay stream
* [[MPEG]] and all of its variants (MPEG2, MPEG4, etc.)
** [[3ivx]] (this is just another fourcc for an MPEG4 variant)
** [[DivX]] (this is essentially MPEG4 with some quirks)
** [[XviD]] (another MPEG4 variant)
* [[Sorenson]] Video Codec
* [[Theora]]
* [[VC-1]]
* [[VC-3]]

==Subtitle formats==
* [[SUB]] and IDX ([[VobSub]] subtitle format)
* [[SSA]] and ASS (SubStation Alpha)
* [[SRT]] (SubRip)
* [[SMI]] (SAMI subtitle format)
* [[USF (subtitles)]] (Universal Subtitle Format)
* [[SSF (subtitles)]] (Structured Subtitle Format)
* [[CMML]] (Continuous Media Markup Language)
* [[CVD]] (An SVCD subtitle format)
* [[DVD]] (DVD subtitle format)
* [[DXFP]] (Distribution Format Exchange Profile)
* [[JACOsub]] (Subtitles for Amiga video)
* [[Kate]] (Kate subtitle format)
* [[OGT]] (Philips Overlay Graphics Text)
* [[STL]] (Spruce Subtitle Format)
* [[XSUB]] (XSUB subtitle format)

==Television broadcast formats==
* [[BTSC]] (NTSC with multichannel sound carrier)
* [[NTSC]]
* [[PAL]]
* [[SECAM]]

==Unknown==
These formats still need to be sorted into the above categories
* Animated [[GIF]]
* [[Apple Intermediate Codec]]
* [[AVS]]
* [[Canopus ProCoder]]

Filesystems are [[Electronic_File_Formats|Electronic Formats]] that are a prerequisite to being able to read any file off a digital medium — you have to be able to mount the filesystem, and thus read it, in order to be able to read a file.
