Most common methods are optical disks, either CDROM's or DVD's.

CDROM's usually use the iso9660 format, but they can also be used as video cd's or super video cd's for movie content as well as the traditional music disk format.

DVD's use the UDF format but like any other disk you can store just about anything on them.

Another and increasingly common method is USB storage or memory cards used in various portable devices, they usually use the USB mass storage format but some use device specific proprietary formats.

That what your looking for?
