Negative.  I hadn't delved too much into that screen.  I just went to
"Player settings" and changed the box that said "Internal" to vlc blah blah.
I thought that was all I had to do.

I just went to the file types menu and it was all there.  I changed the
command for iso file types, the checkbox for default player was unchecked
already.  It now loads vlc correctly.

Thanks for pointing that out.  Though it seems like it's a little
counterintuitive and could be implemented to be more user friendly.  I
really do like the idea of having a different player for different file
types though.  Though it seems like that should all be placed under "Player
Settings"... Oh well now I know.

Thanks

Brian
