cause right now, they always download as quicktime files, even though quicktime can't play them (that makes sense)

1. Select the document in the Finder and choose File > Get Info.
2. Click "Open with" in the Info window.
3. Choose an application from the pop-up menu or choose Other to locate a different application.
4. To use the application you chose to open all similar documents (the same type as the current document and created by the same application), click Change All.

Bookshop!
Right (or control) click the file, hold the option key down (so Open With turns into Always Open With), and select VLC player.

Another way is select the file, press Command+I, which brings up information about the file. Click the Open With triangle, select VLC player, and click the Change All button :)
