All its functions are based on the DirectShow architecture so you can find DirectShow decoding filters built-in to the player. The program also contains a MPEG splitter and a VCD/SVCD/XCD Reader that supports playback VCDs and SVCDs.

It supports subtitles and codecs for pulse-code modulation, MPEG-2 audio, 3GP, Dolby Digital AC3, and DTS audio. Media Player Classic is a media player with built-in codecs for MPEG-2 video. All versions of the free media player are maintained by the MPC-HC community at the Doom9 forum. Its active forks are the Media Player Classic - Home Cinema and the Media Player Classic - Black Edition. The program and its source code are based on the K-lite Codec Pack and the Combined Community Codec Pack.

MPC-HC is capable of playing Video CD, Super Video CD, and other digital optical disc storage formats automatically all necessary codecs have been installed in the program. As mentioned above, MC-BE works well, and VLC payer is another option, that has most all the internal codecs you would most likely need.ģ stars, but only being that it could work well with K-lite codec pack, a codec pack I personally don't care to useMedia Player Classic is an open-source media player for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows operating systems. Unless you're using K-lite codec pack, look elsewhere for a player. The only thing this player has going for it now is the subtitle download capabilities, of which MPC-BE sorely lacks, so I keep MPC-HC on hand just in case I need to download a subtitle file for a movie if needed, although I could just do that directly online to Subscene, Subscene has never failed to provide a subtitle file for a movie, especially for foreign language parts only. I have now switched to MPC-BE instead, which works well with Shark007 codecs. The player now crashes on DVD movie play right off the bat and the AC3 audio on any video file has a funny noise that pops up in the background off and on, and may or not be related to the Shark007 codecs package install. This new version player also no longer plays well with Shark007's codecs, which I use on my home theater system PC. I like to get the standalone filters to go with the player but all that's available now is for version 1.7.9 along with its accompanying older version player. This hasn't been updated on SourceForge for a couple versions now.
