– the official one, developed and compiled by Casimir666,

“As you can see, there are 3 versions of MPC-Home Cinema available for download: So we are talking here about two different versions of MPC-HC.īut there is also a third version of MPC-HC (currently 1.8.6.11), compiled by paehl. The update discussion in comments is about a newer compiling version of MPC-HC, compiled by clsid (as some users have quoted).

So current there are no updates for this official version. I thing, Martin compares MPC-BE with the official one version of MPC-HC, developed and compiled by Casimir666.Īnd, as Martin indicated in 2017 (see his link at the begin), the version of Casimirs MPC-HC is still 1.7.13. It seems there’s been a little misunderstanding about versions/updates of MPC-HC. I have downloaded mpv.net, which Martin wrote about recently, and it seems to be good. I use both versions from time to time, although I will admit that I favor mpv nowadays. The output quality is nearly the same in both, but that's probably because I use the same settings and filters for MPC-BE and HC. The latter takes quite a few seconds to start the playback. Though I have always noticed that MPC-BE is slightly faster, when it comes to opening files than MPC-HC. I did not notice any major difference in the resource usage between MPC - BE and MPC - HC when playing videos. Once you have done that, go to MPC-BE's Options > External Filters > Add Filter and set the LAV Video Decoder and Audio Decoder Filters as the preferred one. But that's not a big issue since the LAV Filters are also open source, meaning you can download and install them on your computer. This is one area where MPC-HC is better by default, because it ships with LAV Filters, ready to use. from the Output settings are broken down into their own sections, like Video, Audio, etc. Mostly the options are re-arranged in the same page, but some pages, for e.g. The settings page in Media Player Classic - BE is quite different compared to HC's.
