I can make it the default program for AVI files but I can't make it appear in the "open with" right-click context menu or the "Choose default program..." prompt. I want to have AVI files associated with Media Player Classic and have Open With provide a quick way to open an AVI file with VirtualDub.

Any ideas on how to accomp

Virtualdab is special software, I suggest you contact software manufactured since the setting is quite different compare with other software. There is some discussion already regarding this issue

Hi

By default, right click a file type you want the app to be able to open from that "open with" menu, and then from the "Open with" menu, select "choose default program" and browse for the .exe of the application you want to have on the menu that is not currently there and select it. Make sure to uncheck the box to make this the default application for opening that type of file. After that, that program should always appear in the list when you use open with on a file of the type you just used for the above procedure.

If Virtualdab is special for that issue as what mentioned by britishdhez, Id suggest you contact manufactured for further information.

Yeah it definitely seems Britishdhez is correct here. I even tried the 32bit version of VirtualDub and it also refuses to appear in the list. I'm familiar with the process Deason Wu but thanks for explaining it anyways.
