The list is going to be determined by which browser you use. You can set any extension to try and stream in the web.config file, and then based on your browser it will either work or prompt you to download the file instead. 

The default list is

      <add extension="mp4" mime="video/mp4" />
      <add extension="webm" mime="video/webm" />
      <add extension="ogg" mime="video/ogg" />
      <add extension="ogv" mime="video/ogg" />
      <add extension="mov" mime="video/quicktime" />
      <!-- audio -->
      <add extension="mp3" mime="audio/mpeg" />
      <add extension="wav" mime="audio/wav" />
      <add extension="opus" mime="audio/ogg" />
      <add extension="oga" mime="audio/ogg" />

But you can add others if the browser supports it.

A while back I made a table for which browsers support which file types. Support could have improved in the last year or so since this was created.

Can you describe the problem you are trying to solve?

Regardless, the thing to keep in mind is that Laserfiche doesn't do any video processing, the data is passed directly to the browser for display in a <video> element. So the question is what does the browser support. You can research at e.g. https://caniuse.com/#feat=mpeg4
