Media Player Classic is a compact free software media player for Microsoft Windows. The application has a similar look and feel to the old light-weight Windows Media Player 6.4. Underneath, however, it is a completely different application which has all the options and features one might expect from a modern media player. This player is capable of VCD, SVCD and DVD playback, without the need to install any additional software or codecs. Media Player Classic has built-in codecs for MPEG-2 video with support for subtitles and codecs for LPCM, MP2, AC3 and DTS audio. It also contains an improved MPEG splitter that supports subtitles on SVCDs and supports direct playback of VCDs and SVCDs using its VCD/SVCD/XCD Reader. On October 30, 2005 Gabest added *.mp4 and MPEG-4 Timed Text support. An AAC decoding filter has been present in MPC for a while, which makes MPC suitable for AAC playback in mp4. Media Player Classic is primarily based on the DirectShow architecture, and therefore automatically uses installed DirectShow decoding filters. For instance, after the open source DirectShow decoding filter ffdshow has been installed, fast and high quality decoding and postprocessing of the DivX, Xvid, H.264 and Flash Video formats is available in MPC. In addition to DirectShow, MPC can also use the QuickTime and the RealPlayer architectures (if installed on the computer) to play their native files.

Sorry but no, why waste your time with this when there are lot of better programs around such as Windows Media Player and VCL (Videolan player) to name a couple ?

Home cinema ...
my fav player for movies :D
Media Player classic is dan wel geen schoonheid (eenvoudige skin) maar in combinatie met K-lite codec pack heb ik tot op heden wel alle videoformaten kunnen afspelen, losse ondertitels werken nagenoeg altijd en het werkt allemaal mooi vlot.
Toch wil ik vooral ook graag Windows media center kunnen gebruiken: In Windows Media Center (en player)in Windows 7 kan ik de meeste media tegenwoordig wel afspelen, dit met behulp van Shark codec pack met een tool waarmee je alles kunt instellen. voor zover ik kan beoordelen werken beide codec packs gewoon naast mekaar (misschien niet helemaal de manier maar het werkt).
Просто, легко и понятно, до VLC пользовался только им.
Simply the one in video players...
Amazing player: compact and complete.
it's so simple, without any complicated in it. Hence, it's take a small capacity from the memory and low CPU clock with the highest quality. I think the interface great as it is "simple".
