Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free, open-source, lightweight video and audio player for Windows supporting most common formats, subtitles, TV tuner playback, and GPU-assisted decoding. Development officially ended in 2017, with the team recommending users switch to alternatives.
Use cases
- play video and audio files on windows
- lightweight media player for old computers
- watch movies with subtitle support
- play dvb television on a tv tuner card
- gpu accelerated video playback
- customize a media player with pixel shaders and toolbars
When to choose
- you need an extremely lightweight player that runs on old SSE2-only CPUs
- you want a spyware-free, ad-free windows player with broad format support
- you need subtitle support including BluRay .sup files or DVB/TV playback
When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained player - development stopped in 2017
