Cool!, then I guess my thread is still valid. VLC should have the file association inside the Preferences so that you don't have to run the installer for it.
I love VLC Media Player, so I have now ditched Quicktime and Windows Media Player. It would be nice if VLC would come with an option to assign file types to it. I had to do this manually in Windows, but it seems like VLC doesn't come with icons, so my files now look as if they were unassigned... ugly.
