I just removed Quicktime and then installed VLC and just as when I tried it ages ago, it doesn't automatically bring up the ability to play the movies, like it does when Quicktime is installed.

If anyone can tell me how I can do this, then I wont reinstall Quicktime.

I'm not sure what you mean with:

Are you talking about codecs, or about opening an embeded movie when you're browsing ?
