Summary:
Most of the widely accepted video formats can not be played on iPhones, because Apple refuses to add corresponding codecs, that exist on other platform for years.
To view such video files on iDevices you can install "PlayerXtreme Media Player" (there is a free version) or "Free HD Video Converter Factory" apps.

To make a video playable on stupid Apple boxes (but not in the browsers so far, you have to download first), the following must be used:
Format: MP4
Video encoder: libx264 (h264)
Profile: Baseline
Level: 3.0 (for maximum compatibility)
Audio codec: AAC
Additional option: -movflags +faststart (for quick web-loading)
