MPC and MPC-HC are my favourite media players.
Using them about 6 years i think!
But this player may not be good for newbies, as sometimes some settings should be changed for proper playback!
(Yes i use other players too... at home MPC.)
(At work, college use VLC, KMP, GOM)

"Works better than mplayer2 but when you try and right click on a mpg and open with it cant find the file to play."
This is easy enough to fix.
- open Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types.
- scroll down to MPG (or whatever file extension you want to open using MPC)
- click on Advanced -> New
- in the Acion field, enter: Media Player Classic
- in the Application... field, Browse to mplayerc.exe and select it
- add "%1" to the end, so that in the Application field, it reads like so:
"C:\Program Files\mplayer.exe" "%1"
The %1 represents the file you want to open (eg. movie.mpg), and the quotes around %1 is in case there are spaces in the path/filename (ie. to make it commandline-friendly).
When you right-click on an MPG file, it will now show "Media Player Classic" in the context menu.
"If only it was updated by the author."
You can use Media Player Classic Home Theatre, which is more or less a continuation of this project. MPC-HT is great. It even plays FLVs.

Best video player - ever. Plays every sick and unknown video format. And can be configured to play anything else what can be played if necessary codec is provided. Gives you a lot of free time, because you won't ever need to get any other players.

YES. As you say, add ffdshow and it's the best combo ever with a very light footprint and no installation or registry crap. Microsoft lost the plot long ago with complex undecipherable hard-to-use bloatware (or saw that complexity ensured adding to its bottom line?) ... wish MS stood back and took stock and a leaf out of this crowd's book.

I've just started using this little gem to play those tasty 4.3 or 7gb files with video content you seem to find a lot these days ;).
I use a wireless video transmitter to play them on my TV. With PowerDVD the sound was terrible and video playback seemed choppy as well.
MPC fixed these problems, so I'm quite happy now :)

Excellent free DVD player as well.
The only grumble is that when playing an mpeg from my hard drive, it doesn't stop at the end of the file, it plays it from the beginning again.
Other than that, an excellent piece of freeware.

This doesn't play CDs properly. It cuts off the 1st second or so of each track. Doesn't have rewind either. Instead, the "rewind" knob is some weirdo "slow-motion" effect, which I never need to use!?
Weird multi-media player if you ask me!

And to the previous post, there is a way to save your settings. Look a little in the options dialog. You will find a check box that says "Save settings to ini file". Go there and all will be resolved.
Great Progam again!!!

This little program is great. I only started using it recently, but have made it my default media player since the first try. It's just so much quicker to load and load movies than WMP. Has played all formats so far as well.
I have only one small complaint and that is it doesn't retain certain settings after close or even when loading a new movie (such as locking in zoom, etc.). Not a problem, just a minor annoyance, but I can definately live with it. Terrific little player!

Much faster than bloatware Windows MediaPlayer, this is simple and does exactly what is has to do with no frills, and even if something isn't supported just go find the codecs, as long as you have the right codecs it will play anything you throw at it, including xvid and divx 6. Even if its not supported it tells you exactly what data you need and tries to find it for you without the unhelpful crap Windoze player coughs up, or all the useless rubbish we don't need to 'make the player more intuitive'

Recommended to use with Quicktime Alternative and Real Alternative.Has a bonus feature of being able to play DVD's.Nice and simple interface.
What more could you want from a media player.
10\10 easily!

Ignore previous comment, Media Player Classic is one of the most powerfull software player. I've been using for several years and is the only player I need. Fast, easy to use, you can navigate precisely along the movie. Is the only player I know which can start a DVD with a double-click on VIDEO_TS.IFO file and this is an important feature if you work a lot with DVDs.
10/10 from me.

this app worked flawlessly. The one nice thing about this application is that it did not need to be installed. you can just copy the .exe to your desktop and run it from there to watch a movie. Why is this a good thing? well in a corporate environment most machines are locked down to prevent users from installing un-authorized software. No need to worry with this app. NOTE: i've only tried it on winXP sp2.

Stick with v6482. This unofficial v6483 is very, very buggy. I disabled both the internal MPEG & AVI audio filters as instructed and still couldn't get it to close without generating errors. Starts up much slower, is slower to start playing the video and generally feels bloated compared to 6482.
Not a good release. Stay away from it and stick with 6482 instead.

a 320:240 with a ASPECT RATIO of 4:3 enbedded in it will apply the 4:3 ratio to the 320:240 file... making it a 16:9
with it off: (to fix above problem)
svcd does not apply the ratio, and movie looks messed up

I have made this comment before but I would like to make users aware of it again. The louder the volume gets in a video, the lower the volume will go down to "normalize" it with the rest of the audio. After the loudness goes down, the volume will not automatically return to the previous audio level. I think you will find that if you watch a movie and simply click the timeline at the current duration you are at, you will notice the volume increases. MPC has had this problem for several versions and needs to be fixed.

I noticed my xvid movies with ac3 soundtracks played just fine. The ac3 decoding is built into this player so there is no need to install a ac3 filter into your system.

AWESOME is the best word. It brings all the abilities of WMP, realplayer, quicktime into a package that is as friendly as WMP 6.4 and eats about as much resources as well. This things plays just about everything perfectly. Only reason I still even have WMP9 installed is that MPC doesnt have brightness controls for nonmpeg videos. If it gets that, goodbye WMP9.

Thank God! and these people. WMP9 is a bloated newbie player. I didn't want to take the time to strip XP from my new 2.8 ghz laptop but WMP9 was one of my main gripes. I had a .mpg1 that I ripped to use in a Powerpoint presentation that kept hanging at certain points when played back. Media Player classic didn't have that problem. Now if I could just get 'Web View" back in my folders.......

The only problem I have with this program is an audio issue. For example, if I am watching DV footage that isn't too loud and then someone claps near the camera, the volume level goes down and doesn't go back up and I have to browse on the timeline just after the clapping to regain the volume level. This does not happen with Zoom Player but I prefer MPC. Can someone suggest a solution to this problem for me?

march 16, 2004 change log
Changes:
Mpeg video decoder: implemented frame-dropping (b-frames only) when running late and added a new sse2 idct (intel's code, AP-945), now high-definition clips should keep the sync at least :)
Mpeg splitter: plays discontinuous/joint files to the end but seeking still broken with those, also recognizes aac streams and misdetects others as lpcm less frequently
New aac decoder based on libfaad, coreaac didn't handle mpeg's aac very well for some reason (he-aac, stereo downmixing supported)
Volume normalizer can be "boosted" a bit in case you find the level still low, look for the slider next to the normalize checkbox
Added a /nofocus command line switch. Guess what it does! Through the web interface browse.html also accepts a focus=no GET parameter with the same effect
More fine tuning of the internal splitters' packet buffering.
Fixed the "higher than normal" priority option, it was not applied after reopening the player.
New option to launch files in fullscreen (checkbox at options/player)
7th internal logo by Steve Smith (looks very nice), if you made any in the past contact me again and I'll add your name to the logo chooser page, next to your logo. For now with the exception of the new one, only an "Author unknown" text will be displayed there because I can't remember which one came from who
Fixed the file browser not displaying anything on cd drives under xp, when the recording feature of the operating system is enabled
Almost 200KB increase in file size! No, it's not (just) the logo (~50k compressed), but libfaad was also huge :)
For those who can recompile the sources: running filters.bat is no longer needed. After adding the lib of the new aac decoder onto the list VC couldn't link it anymore (it crashed...), so I had to add each lib separately to the additional dependecies of mpc to overcome this problem.

Just brilliant! No need for codecs, no installation, no fancy system overload bs, no hassles!
Plain, easy, effective, all-in-one player.
A must!

An excellent program which I have used since the very earliest versions. My only gripe is that updates get released a little *too* frequently, with barely a week going by without seeing a new decimal point increment in circulation.
Unfortunately 6.4.7.8 (the most recent update @ time of writing) breaks .ASX playlist support. I had to revert to 6.4.7.7 to play my existing .ASX files. Shame :(

YES!!! Image Capture from video implemented. This makes MPC even better! A++. Notice how I rated "Value for money" as 1. Basically, I feel this should always be freeware. Awesome program!

This is brilliant.
I have noticed tho, it sometimes chokes and locks up when playing ac3 sound files.
A reboot USUALLY fixes this, so maybe it's not a MPC 6471 fault?

The only problem I have with this program is that when I watch some movies, the video stops part way through and starts over. I don't know whether this is something DivX AntiFreeze can fix, though. I'll have to try.

The most recent version allows one to specify which Directshow filters that will be used for playing back the video file. This is tremendous. If you download lots of video programs, you will get tons of video filters installed on your system, with no control over which one is used by Windows Media Player to play back a given format. This program allows the control and allows you to understand which filters are being used, which filters clash, and which work best. It supports DVD and (S)VCD playback as well. It allows me to play back WMV 9 perfectly, when Windows Media Player itself screws up playing back that (its own!) format (which about the only reason for using the most recent version of Windows Media Player in the first place.)
