Thanks

the MPEG files work on things like psp and ipod video the AVI files are standard video and the other ones are just more files the type of file that the video is can affect the ability for it to play on certain media players when i download videos i just save it as a .avi because it plays on most things but if you cant get a video to play try VLC media player

They are all different containers and technically not all compressed since AVI can contain raw video/audio, I guess technically wma/wmv/asf could to, but generally it only contains Microsoft codecs, so MS MPEG-4, WMV7-9, WMA std/pro, VC-1, etc.

mpg/mpeg basically always contains MPEG codecs, so MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, AVC, etc.

As for the differences, I guess you would need to read the specs on all of them.
