Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC Home Cinema) is an extremely lightweight, multimedia player for Windows. It looks just like Windows Media Player v6.4, but has many additional features.
It is based on the classic Media Player Classic and one of the best media codecs – ffdshow, thanks to which it can play many video and audio file formats without the need to install additional codecs.
Media Player Classic HomeCinema offers a wide range of functionalities – plays MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4, works correctly with a second monitor, supports different types of subtitles, works with QuickTime and RealVideo formats. Also, it can decode H.264 and VC-1 on the latest generation video cards (with DXVA support) and others.
The player is small in size, has a clear and redundant interface.
