Selecting Default Video Player

I'm running Froyo and cannot figure out how to set the default video player. I downloaded the app from the market called "ClearDefault" and went into settings/applications/manage applications........still nothing.

I am trying to watch movies on orb but every movie in the default player is saying cannot play.

The format might not be correct for playing with the default viewer. Download another video player and after you install it and then try to play a video you should get a popup that asks which software you would like to use.

What is the format of the video?

I already tried that and it does not come up. There is also no option for video player in manage applications.

As far as video format goes I have no idea. They have .avi extensions but could be divx, xvid, etc. It streams the video so I can't download it then open it to watch.

Hmm, maybe something wrong with Orb then. Not real sure as I haven't tried that program on Android.

Yeah its frustrating. Any other time for anything else it asks me for a default program. It does it for my browsers and audio players.
