What about launching VLC with a double click, going to File -> "Quick File Open...", selecting your file and watching it?
(sorry for the irony)
What to do 'bout AVIs on the mac

What you do is this:
Select the AVI file on your desktop
Press command-i to get the info about the file
Change the default application for AVI-files to VLC and choose to do this for all files of the same kind
From now on, all AVIs will open with VLC just by being double-clicked
(They will also appear graphically with the VLC rather than the Quicktime icon on yout desktop)
