As a workaround, you can create a Droplet/App that does the following:

  • launch the VLC droplet/app to get a separate instance of VLC,
  • drop one or more files onto VLC droplet/app, or
  • associate your .mov, .avi, and other files directly with the VLC droplet/app, allowing you to simply click on the files to launch the files in a new standalone VLC session.

Paste the code below into a new AppleScript Editor script and save it as an application.

File Association with the Droplet/App can be done as follows:

  1. OpenFinder and find the video file of interest
  2. Right click on the file (assumes you have right click enabled)
  3. Choose Get Info
  4. Under Open with:, click dropdown and select the VLC droplet/app
  5. ClickChange All button
  6. If prompted 'are you sure', select 'Yes'.
