How can I set the default player for video is to VLC player. I unchecked all the boxes in Quicktime but when i right click on a file, it still says "Quicktime (Default)"
Can some one help please. Quicktime is slow as crap plus it doesnt have enough codecs unless u pay them a ridiculously amount of money. Anyway, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely
Neo
 
right click on one of your video files and open the "get info" dialog; then change the option in the drop down "open with" menu, then click on the "change all" button to apply settings to all like video files.

Thanks all. Forum is really a force that makes the world flat, now I totally understand it.

I just bought a video camera that is not really compatible with my Mac, then found VLC and yeahhhh now I can watch them on my computer AND now I just figured out how to make VLC my default player for them.

Thanks for my first wicked experience on this forum. Looking forward to many more!
