RCDefaultApp is a Mac OS X 10.2 or higher preference pane that allows a user to set the default application used for various URL schemes, file extensions, file types, MIME types, and Uniform Type Identifiers (or UTIs; MacOS 10.4 only). MacOS X uses the extension and file type settings to choose the application when opening a file in Finder, while Safari and other applications use the URL and MIME type settings at other times for content not related to a file (such as an unknown URL protocol, or a media stream).

The practical application for this app, as I see it is: use it to assign every possible video format to VLC! (there will be a Mac Essentials post about VLC coming soon). Of course you can use it to assign any other filetype to any other app as well.
