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

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.
