My chosen application is VLC Media Player. VLC is a great free program that is available to both Windows and MAC users. The features I use most often are the 'screencapping' feature as well as the fact that it can play a variety of video types, such as .mov, .avi, .flv, .mp4 and others, as well as being able to play my dvds. I love this program and don't know what I would do without it. I would recommend it to every computer user.
