Why is it that I am able to play only a few .mp4 files in my New Samsung Galaxy Y Mobile but not he rest. What should I do to make even the other .mp4 files to play?
What should I do to make .mkv, .avi and other video formats to play?

This seems like two very distinct questions - please consider separating them. You also may want to look at this previous question: Play High-Resolution mp4 Videos on Galaxy Y – eldarerathis Jul 08 '12 at 16:20

You are not able to play the high resolution videos in your mobile. Your device should be able to handle videos up to 640*360, this is the resolution of HQ YouTube.
Note that there's absolutely no point in watching HD videos on your phone. It has a screen resolution of 240 x 320. Anything above this will be scaled down to fit the screen.

In General, HD videos need to be decoded by a specialized companion chip (h264 decoder) because the CPU is not powerful enough. For price reasons, only a subset of h264's Features may be supported leaving you without HD support
