However, MPC is also fully customizable, and you can add codec support either system-wide or locally in the MPC installation. You’ll find support for most major video and audio codes included with the default installation.
The project was a great success by any measure, and perhaps what’s most impressive about MPC is that it’s remained true to that original design goal more than a decade later despite the addition of many sophisticated features that let it remain a leading choice for multimedia playback despite stiff competition.Ī key component of MPC is its approach to supporting multimedia formats. The goal was to create a multimedia solution that mimicked WMP 6.4 in all the best ways. MPC was developed as a response to that change under the GNU General Public License. The problem with that for many users was that it sacrificed simplicity, efficiency and customizability in the process. The design goal shifted more toward being a one-in-all home theater solution. Beyond 6.4, WMP became a heavyweight application. Up until version 6.4, WMP was a streamlined multimedia solution that performed efficiently and gave users a lot of control. In order to appreciate Media Player Classic or MPC, one must appreciate the evolution of Windows Media Player or WMP. PatchMyPC does not look in this folder for the installed 64-bit MPC program to determine if a newer version is available.Media Player Classic is a compact media player, available as both a 32- and 64-executable, that delivers a lightweight multimedia solution that resembles the beloved Windows Media Player 6.4. If one downloads the latest MPC 64-bit player (.exe) from /, the 64-bit program installs correctly in the folder: The MPC 64-bit version offered as part of the K-lite Codec update is often not the latest version. One must accept the version offered in the K-lite Codec update. The problem is that there is no option to update MPC 64-bit to the latest version. In selecting MPC in the "Programs to be Updated" panel, PatchMyPC downloads the 32-bit version of MPC and installs it in a Program Files (x86) folder of its own. The MPC 64-bit program is located in the following folder (on a Windows 64 machine):Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\K-Lite Codec Pack\MPC-HC64\mpc-hc64.exe K-lite Codec will update MPC 64-bit IF MPC 64-bit in already installed as part of the K-lite Codec bundle.
