How can I remove a video player?

Hi, awhile back I installed a video player, that I can't even remember the name of now, and it plays all my video's being watched over the web with this player now, it does give me the option to use original player, but you have to be lightning quick to click it and even then sometimes it won't. Its driving me nuts! I hate it! Can anyone tell me please how to maybe find this program and delete it. And what is the default video player on the Mac supposed to be?
Thanks so much.

Mac mini, iOS 6.0.2

I think QuickTime Player is the default video player. You can right click any video file, select Open With and set whatever video player you want as a default for that file extension. For example, I use MPlayerX and have all my .avi files default to that player. You should also be able to see what the current default player is so you can find it an delete it.

The name of an application should show in the menu bar, to the right of the Apple menu.

Thanks, but I am not talking about video files on my computer I am talking about video files on the web, like on Youtube or Vimeo or Facebook etc

Try checking your Safari Preferences under Extensions. There might be something there. I only have Adobe Flash Player installed which is used by YouTube videos and other Web sites.
