It works well, and is the invasive monster of archiving apps.

Third Place: The Unarchiver is an excellent unarchiving application, with support for many formats

Second Place: p7zip is a ported version of the popular 7zip, the code is command line only. However, it is effectively used in EZ7Z. However, this app costs $4.99 to unlock the full features. This app can also make archives.

First Place: Zipeg is a useful archive manager that allows you to open and view archives. It also allows you to add files to archives. Everyone must have this app!

Third Place: The best mac video converter WAS VisualHub. However, the project is dead. An open source project can be found here

Seccond Place: Perian is a free, open source app that will allow QuickTime to open almost any file format, including AVI and FLV files. The only common format that I have noticed that it doesn’t have are WMV files.

First Place: VLC is the SUPREME media player. With an incredible list of file formats, VLC can’t be beat. VLC can open a file even if it has no extension. VLC has saved my life sometimes with its ability to read damaged video files VLC is by far the greatest media player in existence.
