Administrator DKT27 Posted September 27, 2018 Administrator Share Posted September 27, 2018 Media Player Classic Home Cinema, fork by clsid, is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project and provides a huge amount of features. The new Media Player Classic Home Cinema has anti-tearing options, subtitle synchronisation, support for latest OSes, 32bit and 64bit, has additional video decoders and in particular H.264 and VC-1 with DXVA support, support for EVR renderer and a lot more. But probably the best thing about this player is the range of formats it supports. It'll play just about anything you throw at it, whether it's an MP3, an Ogg, a MP4 or even a WEBM file. It supports almost all the video and audio codecs, from H.264 to H.265 (HEVC) to even AV1, from MP3 to AAC and a lot more. Thanks to BoHNeN for the update. DownloadNote: Changes in the listing. Since the original developers of this software have discontinued this project, we have decided to instead list a forked and well maintained version created by clsid of this software on nsane.down.

The one we are now listing is same as found in that software. However, we think not everyone wants all the codecs, so we list this software standalone too here.

Good to see it still going and i dont like installing 3rd party codecs on windows most all players can play stuff just fine without them and were i use portables for everything but Smplayer with mpv, codecs dont work for portables no way unless its a portable codec pack with a player in it lol, MPC i just installed it in portable apps platform now it will tell if there is any portable updates because portableapps does it 64bit too.

I myself prefer using codecs though. Gives me better control over individual codecs. I gave this player a try in portable version when I was testing it when we were deciding upon frontpaging it. From my tests it was running with external codecs from what I saw here. I had manually enable them - as with case with the installer version, in the settings though. Confirmed. External codecs work fine with portable version here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tested it with x265 without codecs it played great , I stop installing codecs back when I got windows 8.1 , 2013 I think it was and I used potplayer up tell like this year, now i don't use no proprietary player no more, I got tired of having to block it with my firewall just so it dont harvest my data. Back in the old days players needed codecs , MPC even did but not anymore , But i stop using Windows media player , The Zoom Player and BS Players that need codecs years ago.

It was other way around for me. I had to enable external codecs to play H.265 without any glitches. But that is because I do not have any hardware based H.265 decoder here.

MPC has built in H255 Lav filters decoder now you shouldn't need codecs it should be no difference with or without codecs it should be able to push small x265 pretty good on raw process power . https://www.techhive.com/article/2892383/which-is-the-better-free-video-player-mpc-hc-176-vs-vlc-22.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mistaken with another fork. Still, I was able to use external codecs with this. As I said, I get more control overall when using external codecs. The problems is, when people install codecs which they have no use for. This was highlighted by Lite to me once, that's when I understood what to use and how to use here.

Smplayer you cant use codecs with it at all but it uses mpv witch as long you keep it updated is top of the line full x265 12 bit support mpv uses less cpu than any off them but it gui is very basic that's why i use smplayer with it for a frontend . If a player gives me trouble on windows i just switch players on Linux i dont even install nothing but smplayer and mpv because i cant stand vlc it never works good for x265.

This is when we decided to stop listing the mega pack and recommend everyone to use the standard. But that was in days when the downloads from the official site were quite slow I believe, so we had to rehost them our servers. Standard I think previous too had lot of things. Now it has all the good things required in it. 8 minutes ago, steven36 said: You can in MPC but you can't in some players like zoom player it dont have the settings for it.
