Comments and Reviews
Pluses: 1) a free program; 2) easy opening (does not slow down, does NOT load the CPU);
opens a large number of media file formats (FLV, WMV, AVI, TS, MP4), which not all alternative programs can (PowerDVD produces sound in FLV format, but does NOT produce an image - black screen);
there is a miniature preliminary viewing window - Preview;
there is a change in the playback speed of the videographic file (acceleration/ deceleration), simple & understandable;
there is a technology for continuing to view a videographic file from the moment it ends at the previous start of the program.
Minuses: 1) ugly design; 2) when you accidentally double-click the mouse button, the program window size adjustment function is launched;
there is NO icon in the program menu - switch to full screen mode. Only with the right mouse button or command a 2-key on keyboard. Does NOT change in category «Settings»;
lack of «smooth» preliminary viewing (Preview) - large time gaps between frames. In 70% of cases, it is not significant. But when working with long-term files or during emergency editing, ACCURATE previews help save time and make work easier;
there is NO automatic association of files with the program. Each file format must be selected & added manually for playback by the program. It causes inconvenience & «steals» time.
can't get bitstream with 5.1 channels, mpc-qt always downmix to 2 channels so i kept potplayer
MPC-Qt combines the classic retro UI of Media Player Classic with the high-performance libmpv rendering engine under the hood, wrapped in a modern Qt interface.
