What is the format of most videos that can go onto a media player?

I've looked at my media player and tried searching through some files, but I just can't seem to find the format for videos.

I know for iPods it's mp4...

depends completely on the media player.

For an iPod, MPEG 4 video at 720 kbps or under with AAC audio at 160 kbps or under in an MP4 container.

At least that is what works best for me. I use Avidemux, start with the iPod preset, adjust the video bitrate to something like 600, change the scaling to use Lanczos3 and possibly increase the audio bitrate to 160 kbps. Those settings always work for me, and leave subtitles readable.
