The browser can play anything you have local plugins for, videos can be streamed into Totem, VLC and other media players so can play any formats your media players are able

firefox 14 has support for h264 via gstreamer, though it needs to be enabled by ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/412647
