VLC Media Player is a free, open-source application that does one thing very well: It plays nearly any media file you can imagine.

Initially released in 2001, the app has been continually developed and improved ever since. It's now indispensable for people who watch videos and listen to audio on their computers. That's pretty much everyone.

If you're not already using it, download it here and see what you've been missing.

It works on all kinds of platforms

VLC is compatible with Windows, OS X, Linux, and even a discontinued operating system called BeOS. Pretty much no matter what hardware you use, you'll be able to run this powerful app.

Transcoding

Not only can the app make sense of all these disparate file formats, it can export them as newer, more compatible versions with its built-in transcoding tool.
