I have done a fresh install of Mavericks on my 2009 MacBook Pro.

I have downloaded VLC and would like to make it the default app for playing any video file. I try to do this by selecting a video file, opening up the "Get info" tab, scrolling down to the "Open with" part and finally selecting VLC.

My problem is that once I select VLC it briefly flashes as selected and then it immediately changes back to QuicTime. VLC never stays selected and so I never get the chance to press the change all button.

I am using a standard user account and think that may have something to do with it though I never get an admin prompt.

Has anyone experienced something like this before? What can I do?
