However, since I’m a hypocrite I’m using a codec pack anyways. They are convenient but are also easy to install duplicate components and break rather easily if you don’t know what you’re doing. While my favorite way to install MPC-HC is via the K-Lite Codec Pack (K-Lite comes with a neat icon pack), I recommend avoiding using codec packs unless you are familiar with each components and know how to configure them properly.
There are many ways to install MPC-HC, ranging from codec packs to installing each component yourself. I only have headphones and stereo studio monitors. Please consult Google for audio options if you have a surround sound home theater. FFDshow also allows running custom scripts and AVISynth, but that’s advanced stuff and even I don’t touch it. 10-bit video has incorrect pixelated chroma with the default renderer).įFDShow allows MPC to interface with SVP 4 if you plan to use it. It is crucial to use MadVR as it not just provides powerful scalers and filtering functionality, but also fixes some errors with the default renderer (e.g. MadVR is a powerful DirectShow renderer to to replace the antiquated enhanced video renderer from the Windows XP days. One of the reason it has maintained its relevance after 17+ years is relying on external components/filters, allowing to decode modern formats despite its age. MPC-HC is also very flexible with external components. Performance may not be as efficient as mpv, but its ease of use and forgoing command line / config files in favor for a proper UI makes it the better choice for casual users. It is easy to configure, and really user friendly. Not the prettiest thing in 2021, but function over form right?įor users that love tweaking, or users with potato PCs, I recommend using mpv instead.įor casual users, I recommend using MPC. MPC-HC ( original outdated build || forked & maintained build) is a classic video player with solid functionality. I also have an mpv guide for those who love to tweak, and an SVP4 guide for those who want to explore interpolation options for watching videos.
