5 Windows 8 Apps to Download Immediately

VLC for Windows 8

There's no way around it. The video app that's included with Windows 8 is about as basic as a media playback application can be. There's some limited file support, but getting to your downloaded movies is way harder than it should be. VLC for Windows 8 focuses on adding file support and letting users quickly access their files. Copied video files, ripped movies from discs are all playable through the app.
