Are you tired of your videos opening in QuickTime, or your photos opening in Preview? Well, there is a setting right in the Finder that will solve your problem.
Firstly, pick out the type of media you want to set the default application for. In this example, I picked Flash Video (.flv). Select a file of that media type, right-click, and select Get Info. Under the Open With section, select the application you want to open this media type in the drop down menu. Now, press the Change All button.
Now every time I double-click on a .flv file, it will automatically open in VLC. If you have a suggestion for what application displays certain media files the best, feel free to comment on this post.
