I can reproduce it too.
I've changed Totem for VLC and double-click on a video file. Totem is opened
instead of VLC.
Output of "dpkg -l gnome-control-center":

Title:
"Default Applications" not being applied
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Ubuntu 12.04 using Unity:
When you set the "Default Applications" these settings are not applied
properly. For instance, I set "VLC media player" as the default for
"Video" but when I double-click on any video file it gets opened by
Totem instead.
Also the option "A Wine application", shown if Wine is installed, does
nothing.
