MPC-HC 2.2.0 is a fast, lightweight player with wide format support. While lacking some features and updates, it's user-friendly and efficient for basic playback needs.

I have been using this player as my main one for more than 10 years. It works stably and smoothly plays videos of any format. Sometimes I used other players to experiment, but I kept coming back to this one.

This hasn't been updated on SourceForge for a couple versions now. 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 new version player also no longer plays well with Shark007's codecs, which I use on my home theater system PC. 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. I have now switched to MPC-BE instead, which works well with Shark007 codecs. 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.

Unless you're using K-lite codec pack, look elsewhere for a player. 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.

3 stars, but only being that it could work well with K-lite codec pack, a codec pack I personally don't care to use

Went back to MPC 1.6.2. Later versions have no center channel sound. Couldn't find an option to set to 2.1 stereo. Guess the new folks at MPC assume everyone has 5.1 theater speakers for their rig.

Once the original developer left, versions since 1.6.2 have been bells, whistles and tinkering more than anything else.

Great player this and the k-lite codec pack is a must have, only complaint I have is it does not play nice with some DVDs navigation

Still the best from the original media player classic that saw off the disastrous ad riddle real player to where we are today, this is the best.

Even though I have personally switched to the MPlayer/SMPlayer combo, I give this player 4 stars. Installed with the Mega Codec Pack it should play almost anything, if not everything. The only drawback for me is that I cannot use this player to view content on an HDTV via s-video cable. Screen is blank, only volume. I now use SMPlayer as my default player to achieve this. QuickTime can do it too, but QuickTime Player is very limited nowadays.
