VLC Player: A very nice open-source, cross platform player that plays a number of different video file formats.

File Renamer: This is a great file renaming application. There is a basic and a premium version, the basic version should be free to try. This is perfect for scenarios where you might have a series of images output from a program that are not sequentially numbered. This application allows you to rename those files so that they are in a numerical sequence.
