I downloaded an FLV video file, but it's not associated with
any application on my PC. I know VLC can play it, so I right click
icon/file, hit the Change... button.
On the next page, at the top ,it says recommended program:
"Directshow SDK filter graph editor"
Now, Graphedt it a useful program, don't get me wrong.
But as a default for a movie file? Seems a little odd.
So I look down the list of "other programs:"
VLC is not listed so I choose browse,select
\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe.
When I find it and click OK, the option to
"Always use the selected program to open this kind of
file" is greyed out.
And sure enough, when I doubleclick the FLV, Graphedt opens.
There is something odd about using this facility to assign a program.
Did I do it wrong? How's it supposed to work?
WHY isn't VLC in the list of other programs?
Thanks for any info.
