I loaded in Realplayer and when I try to open an mp4, realplayer cant play it. Movie player does fine. So I just want to make it default to movieplayer. However I cant find the setting panel in hardy.

Right click an mp4 and choose properties. Can set default app there.

just right=click the file and click "open with other application", then choose your poison from the list...that'll usually set the new app as default.
