I'd recommend you have a look at Android's overview of supported media formats. This site covers everything from the first versions of Android to the latest:

Android Supported Media Formats

I'm guessing you're trying to include a video in your application, and that it needs to work on all devices, so I'd suggest you go ahead and try to encode a video with a profile similar to the SD (High quality) listed on the above mentioned site.

There are plenty of free video converters available that you can use for encoding the video - one of them could be Freemake Video Converter.
