I was wondering if there is a way to setup Lion so that it recognizes the different video types and then selects the proper player automatically. ie.

.rar - The Unarchiver
.avi - DivX Player
.mdkv - MPlayerX

The Mac has done this since its inception.

Easy -
1. Highlight a file of each type and command-i.
2. Change 'Open with:' to the desired application.
3. Click the Change All... button.

All future actions against this file type will fire that application.
