Today the Media Player Classic is used by most people as it is not such a resource hog as the Microsoft Media Player which uses far more RAM than any other player on the internet today. This is a basic player which plays all the Microsoft format without slowing down your computer.

The player also acts as a  DVD player with real-time zoom and it also has support for all AVI subtitles. The Media Player Classic also supports for formats of QuickTime and RealVideo and also has built in for the  MPEG2/SVCD/DVD codecs. If Microsoft Windows Player keeps on crashing then this is the player for you!

What is Media Player Classic

Media Player Classic (MPC) is a lightweight, open-source media player for Windows. To use MPC, first, download the software from the official website and install it on your computer. Once installed, you can open MPC and use it to play video and audio files by clicking “File” and then “Open” to browse for the file you want to play.

Additionally, you can use the “Play” button in the toolbar, or use the “Open” button on the toolbar to open a file. MPC also supports playlists and you can use the “Playlist” button in the toolbar to create and manage playlists. You can also customize the player by right-clicking on the main window and selecting “Options” or “Options > Player” to access the settings menu.
