Sharepoint 2010: Asset Library Supported Video Format or File Type

In Sharepoint 2010, Asset Library is a new feature that allows you to upload Video, Audio and Images. It is exciting that Sharepoint finally has a built in Silverlight video player. Unfortunately, it only supports a very limited list of file format or file type, particularly WMA format and some unknown formats. A list of the supported format can be viewed here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc189080%28VS.95%29.aspx

To solve this problem, a third party solution can be used such as Bamboo's Sharepoint Video Library.

Another solution for better streaming capability is to use a 3rd party FLV player.
