im using MPC for 7 years now. From CCCP to the one developed by Gabest with KLite codec pack, i downloaded it directly from sourceforge.
I used ITunes, QT, WMP, GOM, VLC, DivX and WinAmp before.
It’s my generic media player for all!

Media Player Classic Home Cinema is good now that it supports h.264 decoding via internal filter (VPDAU, FFMPEG-HT). Only needed to add vobsub for subtitle rendering and perhaps CoreAVC as an alternate h.264 decoder since it consumes less resources.

In GNU/Linux I prefer SMPlayer as a frontend for MPlayer which has the most GUI based customization options.

VLC IMO is useful for streams since I’ve had issues with its blocky video rendering and problematic subtitle rendering.

VLC consumes small amount of system resources, one of the best, hands down.

Media Player Classic would have easily beat them if it’s only in the poll. It’s got excellent screenshot maker too!

yes, VLC is much better than other media player, it can read almost any kind of video file.

VLC rocks. One of the best media player out there. The osx version is far better than the built in mac media player.

i voted for ‘Other’. i used to use RealPlayer10(with 3gp upgrade) and/or quicktime, + powerdvd. but now, i am using KLite Codec with Media player classic as front end. i think all-in-one package na. light, regularly updated, and nost of all, opensource(free)

same here, i was talking about the “new” open-source MPC when i replied to the survey, not the actual “old” MPC

GOM Player is a nice alternative too

Actually, Media Player Classic was born because people prefer the “old” Windows Media Player. Yes, MPC is that old.

Like the others, I was voting for the open source MPC and not the old WMP from MS.

I used to love VLC too…but GOM seems to be a more capable all around video player.

Oh, I didn’t know about that. Was thinking of the old MPC.

Media Player Classic is not the old version of Microsoft’s WMP, Sir Abe. It’s a different software.

I, myself use it, because it’s lightweight and only provides what it should unlike other bloatwares.

PowerDVD is better, I think.

as well as storm codec. mpc rocks!

It’s also the player that is commonly bundled with the codec packs like k-lite

by media player classic we dont mean the old Microsoft Windows Media Player btw, MPC is a open source project that plays almost any video file and uses less resources than VLC.
