Media Player Classic
What is Media Player Classic?
Media Player Classic was designed to look just like 
Windows Media Player 6.4, but with many additional new features. It has a built in DVD player with real-time zoom, support for AVI subtitles, QuickTime and RealVideo support and built-in MPEG2/SVCD/DVD codec.
What is the difference Media Player Classic and Media Player Classic Home Cinema?
Media Player Classic was developed by Gabest while the
MPC-HC is a mod designed mainly for homecinema usage and is released by Casimir666.

years without updates. abandoned project. still the best player .
Plays all of my files never had to look for a codec again, simply the best
used to be my favourite until VLC is created and it supports all codecs flawlessly
In my opinion, very good player too but not so good than VLC.
MPC has been discontinued. The current version is MPC Home Cinema. I would remove it from the page, or at least notify that's been discontinued.
Agreed.

The title says it all. Media Player Classic plays everything I throw at it and plays everything very well! Standard definition, high definition, it doesn't matter. MPC plays it all!

The interface is simple and easy to use. You use the k-lite codec pack that is bundled with it to play any video that you can ever come across.
It is very versatile, light weight, clean interface, has many complex functions in the back-end if you like to tweak it but simple front-end to not frighten users away.
