Media Player Classic Home Cinema (para video HD)Basado en el "Media Player Classic" esta especialmente diseñado para reproducir los nuevos videos en HD (mkv, codec h264...) y aprovechar los decodificadores por hardware de algunas tarjetas gráficas:
* nVidia series 8(9)xxx for H.264 only
* ATI Radeon HD series for H.264 and VC-1 decoding
Si tienes alguno de los modelos incluidos en las series anteriores notaras mejoras en la calidad de la imagen y rendimiento con importantes descensos en la carga de trabajo del procesador. (En mi caso con una ATi puedo decir que la mejoría es impresionante).

* An option to remove Tearing
* Translation in several languages (currently Czech, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Turkish and Ukrainian)
* Additional video decoders and in particular H.264 and VC-1 with DXVA support (see specific section for details)
* Better support for Windows Vista, including a release for 64 bits platform
* Support for EVR renderer
* Bugs and vulnerability fixes
Modern graphics card offer the possibility to decode partially or completely a video stream using DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA), in order to reduce CPU usage dramatically. MPC-HC includes an embedded video decoder that uses this technology, to decode H.264 and VC-1 with hardly any CPU time required.
