Since i installed VLC player it has defaulted all my videos to run through that how can i set it back to Quicktime as the default player?

Cheers

To set the default application to open any file type:

1) Select a file of the type in the Finder.

2) Do a "Get Info" on the file (command-i).

3) In the "Open with:" section of the info window, select the application you want to open that type.

4) Click the "Change All..." button underneath.

Now double-clicking on a file of that type will open it in the selected application. Repeat for each video type you want to open in Quicktime (that is, once for .mov, once for .avi, etc).

Thank you that has worked fine :)
