Download Media Player Classic – Home Cinema 1.6.3.5818

Media Player Classic is a small no-nonsense media player that looks like Windows Media Player 6.4 and is still a widely used program. However, Gabest, the original creator of this program, discontinued development a while ago. Media Player Classic Home Cinema was created based on the open source code. Like the original MPC, this media player, in combination with the ffdshow filter, can display just about anything it throws at it. Below is the changelog for version 1.6.3.5818.

New:

• New web page (http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net)
• Source code moved to GitHub (https://github.com/mpc-hc)
• The DirectX runtime dlls are included in the distribution packages so it’s no longer needed to install the DirectX runtime
• MpegSplitter: support for DVD-Audio LPCM and MLP in .aob files
• Use FFmpeg for AC3 and DTS decoding
• If the icon library is modified in a way that can break the icons associated to the extensions handled by MPC-HC, MPC-HC will automatically try to fix the registry so that each extension is associated to the correct icon
