FREE POWERFUL MEDIA PLAYER
Media Player Classic is a free software program that lets you play
multimedia content on Microsoft Windows PC devices. Developed and released by
Gabest, Media Player Classic Home Cinema is a lightweight offering that runs on
older and newer Windows 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems: Windows XP, Windows
SP3, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, etc.
IS MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC FREE?
Media Player Classic goes also by the name of 321 Media Player. MPC is an
open-source C++ program that lets you further develop the back end. The video
player boasts many features that let you customize your playback experiences.
You can add multiple audio, subtitle, and video tracks to the content by
right-clicking on the media to access the settings in the context menu. The
music and movie player supports audio and video formats in ASP, AAC, DTS, FLV,
LRV, MKA, MKV, MP4, MPL, OGA, OGG, SWF, etc. You can use Media Player Classic
Home Cinema as a DVB player.
IS MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC SAFE?
MPC-HC is a safe app that claims to be 100% free of spyware. You can watch and
listen to a variety of audio and video file formats in the advertisement-free
application.
You can also add plugins to the downloader to customize and gain insight on the
videos: smooth video project, shaders, etc. Since plugins are downloadable from
third-party sources, you can ensure the security of you and your PC by only
installing plugins from trusted sources.
HOW DO I USE MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC?
Media Player Classic has a user-friendly user interface. There is a
straightforward command line at the bottom of the screen that lets you play,
pause, stop, rewind, fast forward, and skip frames on the right side. On the
left side of the command line, you can mute and adjust the audio by sliding the
lever along the bar to either decrease or increase the volume.
There are time stamps beneath the sound section. The first time represents the
elapsed time and the second one displays the total duration of the video. You
can visually understand where the current point of the production is in
comparison to the total period by looking at the progress bar above the command
line.
MPC presents a variety of methods to access different actions. Along with
pressing the fast forward and rewind buttons, you can drag and drop the lever
along the duration bar to move to different periods within the content.
There are multiple ways that you can play and pause the media. While you can
click on the play and pause buttons, you have the alternate ability to tap on
the center of the UI to start and stop the content. You can press on the ‘Play’
tab within the upper menu bar and right-click on the central portion of the
screen to mark ‘Play/Pause’ in the context menu.
Along the upper portion of the UI, the utility tool offers ‘File’, ‘View’,
Play’, ‘Navigate’, ‘Favorites’, and ‘Help’ tabs. While the classic version of
the popular player has a simple esthetic, there are options to change the user
interface design. While the developers state that toolbars are not included with
the installation of MPC, you can still add customized toolbars to the app.
WHAT HAPPENED TO MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC?
The developers of MPC HC released a notice stating that they were planning to
stop developing the project due to a lack of programmers familiar with the C++
coding language. The final update of MPC is still available to download and
install on older and recent Windows operating systems.
HOW DO I INSTALL MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC?
Once you have downloaded MPC, you can go through the installation setup process.
The installer offers you a variety of over 40 languages to choose from.
including English, Chinese, Catalan, Dutch, French, Spanish, etc. You can select
your preferred language from the dropdown menu. A browser will appear to choose
the destination that you want the video downloader to be located.
You can browse through the locations on the PC to choose the optimal folder to
store the app. The ‘Ready to Install’ page lets you click the ‘Install’ button
to initiate the installation. MPC-HC does include the system requirement of a PC
with an SSE capable CPU. Certain codecs packages include and automatically
install 321 Media Player onto your PC.
WHICH IS BETTER VLC OR MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC?
KMPlayer, PotPlayer, VLC Media Player, and Windows Media Player are alternative
multimedia tools that launch video and audio files. The user interface of MPC
resembles the classic Windows Media Player design. PotPlayer has the best
features included and displays them in an organized way on the UI.
While MPC HC does not offer live streaming capabilities, PotPlayer lets you
stream content from the internet directly in the app. You can watch 3D video
files with the KMPlayer, PotPlayer, and VLC Media Player. Media Player Classic
and VLC are both open-source media players that support most file formats.
Along with MPC, PotPlayer is only available on Windows PC 32-bit and 64-bit
operating systems. KMPlayer, VLC, and Windows Media Player are cross-platform
and compatible with Android, Apple iOS, and Microsoft Windows operating systems.
VLC is additionally available on Linux operating systems. All of the platforms
mentioned above are light-weight and free.
SIMPLE SOLUTION TO WATCH VIDEOS
Media Player Classic Home Cinema is a common video player that lets you
customize your experience while watching videos on PC computers and laptops. The
easy-to-use program launches quickly. MPC includes built-in codecs to play audio
and video files in an ad-free environment.
WHAT’S NEW?
While the program is open-source and can receive adjustments from programmers,
the original developers have decided to cease new releases of MPC.

USER REVIEWS ABOUT MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC
* by SinShadowFox
reviewed on February 14, 2022
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) More

I've always used Media Play Classic, and I've never had a problem with it.
I'm re-downloading it because when my PC went to the repair, Media Play
Classic was uninstalled without my permission, so I'm reinstalling it
again. I hope it works well, so I can indicate it to my friends. More

comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as
follows:
Clean

than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been

software.
WHY IS THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM STILL AVAILABLE?
Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false
positives.
WHAT IS A FALSE POSITIVE?

bundled software.

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are likely to be
real positives.
