Hi Gary
The AHDS (Arts and Humanities Data Service), of which ADS is just one
service provider, lists a compliation of all their service provider's
archive formats at:

http://ahds.ac.uk/public/srg.html

Section 2.9.2

MPEG seems to be the preferred format for both moving image and audio
files.

best wishes
Judith
