MPC is great video player...

I wish that author will make just a little better (nice looking) GUI...

And, does anyone knows how can I see subtitles in mp4 (Nero Digital) movies? Movies are encoded from DVD's with Nero Recode, and they are "built-in" in the movie... BS Player can play those subtitles without any tweaks!

Clean, simple ... and a security risk.

Windows Media Player has a couple of switches that MPC does not -- the ability to *stop* media files from running scripting.

What with unscrupulous people embedding URL calls to websites into movie files now, I cannot justify allowing the install of MPC.

I can't open any streaming media either. It appears that the newer versions of MPC aren't trying to connect (I don't get a prompt from my firewall). v6.4.8.4 works fine, however. I reported this on Sourceforge, but no one responded.

Hi Guys

It's me again. I have been tearing my hair out in frustration trying to install the Media Player Classic that comes with RealAternative on my second XP partition. I was getting 'failed to render file' messages with each attempt to open wma and wmv files after having installed the latest windows media codec pack for WMP6.4. The answer was found in a Doom9 forum. Open View>Options>Tweaks and untick the box for 'Use Wm ASF Reader with Windows Media Files'. Unfortunately there is no help file with this program and the zipped document you can download will not open. Thank God for Google huh?

I love the no nonsense user interface of this programm with menus for File, View, Play, Navigate, Favourites and Help just like a proper Windows program. Winamp may do a better business of playing your media files but it has a ghastly user interface.

Incidentaly mpeg-4 support is not integral with MPC as I wrote before. You have to install the WMP6.4 codec pack.

I cannot recommend this program (MPC 6.4.8.4) too highly. It realy does play everything you could possibly want without code bloat or instability. I tried the WMP8 that I recieved with XP professional but I had endless trouble with error messages and files that would not open. I tried WMP9 and the same thing happened. MPClassic is a relatively small stand alone program with built in decoding support for DVD, mpeg-2 mpeg-4 AC3, CDA and mp3s among other things so it will play anything you buy in the shops without having to buy a software or hardware DVD decoder. Brilliant! You need to download the wm9 codecs for WMP6.4 to play the latest wma and wmv files. Better still get the MPClassic bundled with Real Alternative and you can junk Real Player. While you are at it get Quick Time alternative and then you are set up for just about everthing ther internet you throw at you.

As far as picture and sound quality go I see no advantage in WMP9 so all it has to offer are gimmicks like skins, CD library and internet radio.

Only problem is that I use a product called XPlite to get rid of the WMPs bundled with XP but then MPClassic does not work. Any solutions anyone?

Some XVID or DIVX video files cannot be played started from V6.4.8.6. The files can be opened by MPC but they won't play even you press play or pause button. The last workable version is 6.4.8.5 or below. Please look into the problem or maybe suggest how to tweak it.
