7. Media Player: VLC
With YouTube’s popularity, you probably do most of your video viewing in a browser. However, you should still keep a solid video player around on your desktop for when you need to play media files locally.For this task, nothing beats VLC Media Player, which packs a ton of features and is capable of playing nearly every video and audio format imaginable. You might not break it out often, but give VLC a download and save yourself the hassle of messing with video codecs or using the awfully insecure QuickTime.
