Media Player Classic [Home Cinema] 1.0.10.0

Advertisement (Why?)

Media Player Classic looks just like Windows Media Player 6.4, but has many additional features. It has a built in DVD player with real-time zoom, support for AVI subtitles, QuickTime and RealVideo support (requires QuickTime and/or Real Player); built-in MPEG2/SVCD/DVD codec. Media Player Classic was created and is currently maintained by a programmer named "Gabest". This is a mod of Media Player Classic design for home cinema usage.

Great App. They appear to have fixed the issue where it would force Vista out of Aero into classic when playing files. Nice!! (Y)

All you have to do is set your Output to System Default or VM9 (Overlay is what causes the problem)

Ah, this isn't official, but a spin off of the real media player classic.

#3 slyph on 15 Sep 2007 - 00:18

yah but its still a WELCOME spin off imo bangbang hehe, don't you agree? wouldnt anyone?

<3 MPC the best video software ever

#4 Xenomorph on 15 Sep 2007 - 01:52

So wait, this is a spinoff/fork of the real Media Player Classic?

Can the user just contribute to the original?

#5 Rob2687 on 15 Sep 2007 - 02:11

It's the official MPC with some modifications and a bunch of patches applied to it. The original developer stopped working on MPC a long time ago.

What modifications were made over the original MPC?

#6.1 Gus. on 15 Sep 2007 - 18:55

"Support for EVR (Enhanced Video Renderer) :
EVR is a new video renderer available with Windows Vista. It could be used on Windows XP if .Net Framework 3.0 is installed. MPC support two type of EVR :
* EVR : video is displayer by Microsoft presenter. Internal subtitles, Pixels Shaders, and D3D fullscreen are not supported with this version
* EVR custom presenter : the rendering part is made by MPC, almost the same way it's done with VMR9 renderless. Internal subtitles, Pixels Shaders and D3D fullscreen options are working in this mode."
Quote from the Home Cinema website; this is the major feature the original version doesn't have. The original MPC, now 6.4.9.1, is still being updated by "clsid", one of the developers still working on FFDSHOW TRYOUTS:

Spin-off or not, the G15 feature is great.

#8 cork1958 on 15 Sep 2007 - 09:24

Yeah, baby!!

#9 Glassed Silver on 15 Sep 2007 - 09:33

Great... an updated MPC, actually!

#11 Xinok on 15 Sep 2007 - 12:15

I just found out about 10 minutes ago that Media Player Classic has two vulnerabilities. Then I check Neowin to see this "Home Cinema" edition, in which both vulnerabilities have been fixed.

MPC is the master of all media players, best gui, features, and works great.

#12.1 Azmodan on 15 Sep 2007 - 15:26

Not quite. VLC has more features and it has more native supports for codecs (included libraries.) And I use Media Player Classic. (at home -- at work I use VLC.) Why? Faster, more subtitle support (thus it's totally compatible with the K-lite Mega Codec pack). I was debating over who would win in a war, and I'd declare a tie.

sorry VLC interface sux, and in the area of ALL in ONE i have to give it to KMplayer

media player classic its good also but kmplayer its just better

#12.3 rpger81 on 15 Sep 2007 - 20:13

Agreed KMplayer is the best. VLC does NOT have better subtitle support as mentioned above (it's actually very bad, even with vobsub) and yea the interface is even uglier than MPC.

#12.4 Rob2687 on 15 Sep 2007 - 20:59

You're supposed to be watching to video not the GUI.

#12.5 daPhoenix on 16 Sep 2007 - 16:22

They're too busy whining to concentrate on watching anything other than nitpicking about the GUI. *shrug*

#12.6 rpger81 on 16 Sep 2007 - 18:43

Don't hate because we dislike your favorite program. GUI doesn't mean EVERYTHING, but it means something. Even when playing a video you MUST look at it, what if you wanted to hit the pause button? Or select a different audio or subtitle track? Yea go be a smartass somewhere else.

#13 astrokat on 15 Sep 2007 - 18:18

Does the 64 Bit version use 64 bit codecs or 32 bit codecs?

#14 obscure_detour on 19 Nov 2007 - 07:54

Just wanna say thanks for updating an amazing player
