I have seen people say to click get info then do something with the 'open with' but when I go to get info there is NO open with option, no options to change at all. I cannot drag the files into VLC like I could before the upgrade either. Please help me out! I am not real tech savvy, but I can do basics and follow instructions. Thanks.

Best Answer
Right click on any movie file you have.
Get Info
At the bottom of that window you will see the current app used to open it.
Change to VLC and use the "Change all"
You need to repeat that for all movie files that have different extension.
Normally you would have .fvl, the .mov, and maybe some other formats.
