User Reviews

  • This is a very good player. But in fact, I gave 5 stars not specifically to this player (which hasn’t been updated for a long time and is essentially abandoned), but to its fork — MPC-HC clsid2. I ran tests with 8K HEVC 30 fps video. This fork played the video at a stable 30 fps, without any stuttering. In contrast, another fork — MPC-BE — could only manage 26 fps, with a significantly higher average jitter. You can view the stats by pressing Ctrl+J, although the stuttering in MPC-BE was noticeable even without it. I highly recommend MPC-HC clsid2. This fork is still frequently updated, always has the latest LAV filters, and even minor improvements. MPC-BE is also being updated — it’s a different fork. But based on my tests, MPC-HC clsid2 is significantly better.
  • sonstv.blogspot.com This is a great site I've seen. From this, we can get torrent magnet links of movies and tv series directly. . .

  • Horrible program and even worse support. Before Media player classic my windows media player and windows autoplay worked fine but after media player classic appeared on my computer my windows autoplay wouldn't recognize windows media player anymore and when media player classic tried to play movies it would always run into an error and shut down. When i click on the help button i was taken to clsid2's Github repository. When i created a thread asking for help clsid2 screamed at me that his program wasn't at fault and closed my thread. (i think it might be malware)
  • Several unequaled features. This is still better than any MS player and doesn't send your information to the Borg.
