Inserting video on webpages

What possibilities are there for inserting and showing videos on a webpage that

  • don't require additional plugins or installations from the user and
  • can be used for other than the .flv format (.f4v, .avi e.g.)

At SO I found a few questions like this: stackoverflow.com[...], but they are only about .flv-players. Is that because there is nothing else?

I know there are many, many formats and no tool can handle them all. But is it at all possible to show any other than .flv formats without extra plugins? I have never found any.

Thank you.
