I downloaded MPEG Streamclip for video editing and do not wish to uninstall it. But now it is the default application for .wmv files. I already went through other options to change the default video player to VLC but when I try to do it this message is what returns:
'The item is either locked or damaged, or in a folder you don’t have permission to modify (error code -61).'
This file is a DVD for an online class and would prefer not to constantly go back to the DVD folder in Finder and 'Open With' VLC. I read some tips about resetting some files but they were for Leopard and Tiger.
Learn how to download and install VLC Media Player for MAC OS X computers. Different files exists for different Mac versions and it is all covered in this. VLC for Mac OS X: 64 bit VLC dmg package download link which works for Mac OS X 10.6 and later. 32 bits Intel Mac. I have Mojave, and it won’t open, the window saying to drag it to. VLC has hardware decoding on most platforms. The player (version 3.0.6) runs on Mac OS X 10.7.5 (64-bit Intel-based Mac) up to Mac OS Mojave. Older devices (Mac OS X 10.0 — 10.6) are supported by previous releases. However, that support ended for these releases so they won’t receive any further updates.
I am currently running OS X version 10.9.2. Thank you in advance.
