There are no alternatives to Media Player Classic in terms of simplicity. Fewer shortcut keys or Hot keys than other players.No help document available but it can be downloaded.By default, it does not support many formats because it has no built in codecs.Fast decoding once the decoders have been installed.Can be integrated with any codec requiring it being installed in the system for a DirectShow feature.
Has an MPEG splitter for supporting subtitles.The keyboard keys can control many functions like the left right key makes the video go forward and backwards on a single frame, ctrl + right/left can skip a frame.
The best things about Media Player Classic are actually it's lightweight design and the small portable setup file of only 2.1 MB.
I will not call the Media Player Classic's interface very modern or stylish because as the name says it’s a very retro, old school style player with no catchy gimmicks to it. Many of the options are accessible through the top menu or by right-clicking in the main window. New users possibly will have a tough time getting into the essential features. If you have been using Windows Media Player for long, then it will not be difficult to handle. So there are no problems in understanding the basic functionalities. The interface of Media Player Classic is very much like the conventional Windows Media Player's older versions. Some codec packs such as K-Lite Mega Codec Pack Full might offer the option to install Media Player Classic, skip that because then you’ll be having two versions of the player in your system. The different thing about this latest version is the added support for Ogg Theora and AC3. It works on all versions of Windows, 98, 2000, XP, Vista, Win 7. Even while playing the QuickTime and Real Player files, these applications need to be installed in the system. However if you want to push the functionalities of Media Player Classic, you will have to install a codec pack for it to run every format available. You can just copy the 2.1 MB setup file to any folder you wish and run it from there, or create a shortcut to it on your Desktop or Launch bar. It has sound filters and playlist options.Ī good thing about installing Media Player Classic is that it does not need to be installed. Unlike KMPlayer it doesn’t have the facility to identify codecs with built in logic but with proper codecs installed in the system it will be perfect for use. Media Player Classic is an improved edition of the classic Windows Media Player 6.4 with the ability to play QuickTime and Real Player files. " Media player similar to WMP 6.4, but better."
