Supported multi-media file types in Impress

Howdy,

Quick question regarding the coming 3.4 version.

Running on Windows, and assuming no added extensions or other files
beyond the AOO 3.4 distribution, are there any video formats beyond .WMV
that should be available for use in Impress?

I've confirmed that .wmv is working.

Thanks,

//drew

and one more update to this.

(MS Vista 32bit) - alright fully cleaned out all installations of all
the sorted versions I had on this machine 
- installed OO.o 3.3, verified that .wmv and .avi where being supported.
- installed the latest (1296433) AOO 3.4 full install set - .wmv
and .avi files are both working now from within Impress.. will check a
few others also..

Just to clarify - I rather thought .avi would run inside Impress, but so
far have not been able to verify that, those .avi files I've tried that
do run in a MS Media player do not run inside Impress. Have also tried a
number of other formats, none of which have worked so far.

So - just wondering; is there is a (minimum) list of supported media
types..and apologies if I've just over looked finding it.
