How do I make a video open with a player other than quicktime?

I have limewire pro and no matter what I do, any video still opens in quicktime and it freezes and doesn't work for me.

Select the file on your hard drive and use the Finder's Get Info (cmd-I) to bring up the "Open With" options. You can set the default and alternate programs to use for your files there.

These free players can often play video that is a problem for Quicktime
