Review of Media Player Classic Home Cinema

Pros:

☆ 64 bit media player with wide media codec support including MKV, AVI, MP4, MP3, AAC, etc. Added additional video decoders, H.264, VC-1 and MPEG-2 with DirectX Video Acceleration support in particular.
☆ Improved mouse behavior on Windows 10: it was impossible to use the mouse buttons to play, pause, exit full screen, etc.
☆ Allow hardware decoding of 4K UHD video with AMD cards.
☆ Play 4K/8K videos without installing codec like other 8K video players do.

Cros:

☆ There's about a half dozen screens to step through in installation process.
☆ The player's interface is a little awkward. To open a file you don't get a standard browser window, but a list of recently opened files in drop-down format along with a Browse button that then offers an Explorer window.
☆ By default the player always opens with the sound turned off, and an icon has to be clicked to activate audio.
☆ The player crashed a few times on larger files.
☆ The Stop button resets to the beginning of the video instead of holding the current location like most players do.
☆ Navigation back and forth in a video file also seemed slower than some competing products.
