Media Player Classic is an extremely light-weight media player for Windows. It looks just like Windows Media Player 6.4, but has many additional extra features. MPC has, for instance, a built in DVD player with real-time zoom, support for AVI subtitles, QuickTime and RealVideo support (requires QT and/or Real player); built-in MPEG2/SVCD/DVD codec. It also supports SVCD/CVD selectable subtitles and lots more. The best part about Media Player Classic is the ability to modify the filters when playing your favorite video files.

And where did you read this version is beta? Plus, it's an official release, off course.

Anyway, you just need to look at the Download file name to understand (i hope) what means the "title".

Then that site is wrong.

It's simple, there's no "Beta" on the release notes, Download file name/description and in the application.

I mean no offense when I say this, but I trust their site more than a random person who posts application news on Neowin.

I could also say "there's no "Final" on the release notes, Download file name/description and in the application." but hey maybe I am wrong...

lol, i understand you perfectly.

Some programs say BETA on it, while FINAL i've never seen any.

Bah, for all I know it's just a stable nightly build. It's not even listed on the 'official' SourceForge download location:

There's where i see this new release.

#4 apul on 04 Jan 2008 - 23:30

This build is from Guliverkli2 ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli2/ ), and not guliverkli ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/ ). gabest works for guliverkli, OK, here it's clsid2 who works for Guliverkli2.

The new release is on http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli2/ of course.

It's been a long time coming with this update. Does it incorporate all the "features and fixes" of MPC Homecinema edition?

EDIT: Seems, not, as Homecinema has a lot more features in the options. Although I may be wrong, just had a quick look, nothing in depth

I used to love this player but it hasn't exactly been a thriving project for the last few years. I thought it was dead actually, and I've already moved on. GOM Player is sweet.

I tried this program awhile back from a link here on neowin. Ended up having a virus in it.

#7.1 The Guardian on 05 Jan 2008 - 02:37

You must have got it from some dodgy site, as the actual one is 100% virus and spyware free.

Edit: I just noticed you said you got it from a link on Neowin. no idea how it had a virus then!

No offense, but I'm almost positive that it's a fault on your end.

#8 Gus. on 05 Jan 2008 - 04:48

Yes, Gabest, the original developer of MPC has stopped work on all his projects long ago; CLSID has now taken over updating it; he has also taken over updating of FFDShow, under the project name FFDShow Tryouts...
Guliverkli2 MPC updates by CLSID:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli2/

ffdshow tryouts by CLSID and others:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/
http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/

MPC - Homecinema adds support for EVR. I think he uses the builds from CLSID.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpc-hc/

I'm only using HomeCinema versions, so until it gets updated all along, I'm not switching.

this can play almost anything without codecs and it's free and lightweight.

#10.1 TRC on 05 Jan 2008 - 08:46

No, you still need codecs. QuickTime, Real media, Divx, Xvid, etc. There are players that come with all the codecs they need but this isn't one of them. It is free and lightweight though.

Why would anyone use media player classic over VLC? VLC will play just about anything you throw at it.

#11.1 th3rEsa on 05 Jan 2008 - 14:03

VLC is ugly. :]
And MPC is quite fast compared to VLC... using XviD and ffmpeg, I don't care about VLC.

#11.2 Sheppard on 05 Jan 2008 - 14:14

You DO realise that VLC uses ffmpeg as well to decode?

ive used both
and MPC is way better

#11.4 th3rEsa on 05 Jan 2008 - 15:56

@Sheppard: Sure. So why should VLC/ffmpeg beat MPC/ffmpeg?

#11.5 eilegz on 05 Jan 2008 - 17:40

KMplayer > VLC

the interface its bad, the way it handle subtitle its horrible, have issues with MKV only good thing about it its that it works for linux and mac but for windows theres so many good alternatives

This seems odd: http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4705276

Has clsid2 given up on MPC as well? That message seems to imply that he has.

#12.1 Mike Frett on 05 Jan 2008 - 17:46

That's the problem with freeware, authors give up too easy. A little advice, don't start the damn project if you can't keep it up!.

MPC does everything it needs to do, simple, fast, and useful. What else does it need?!

I've seen so many posts querying the legalities of the K-Lite Codec Packs, but that issue aside, with the codec pack installed, MPC has played almost anything I have thrown at it!

Klite pack is crap comparing to FFDShow Tryouts. I highly suggest you switch over

You won't regret it!
