I had MPC installed in my windows PC before but I uninstalled it after I got VLC.This player is also called K-lite Codec Player. and is similar to VLC, it is freeware and plays almost all formats of video and audio except some newly released formats like HEVC and MKV.
What I liked most about this player was its various screen size fit options.They were quite handy in times of small sized videos.
The reason I uninstalled this player was when I downloaded some MKV format files, this player started showing issues.Some files didnot playback.Audio-video was out-of-sync for some other files.But as a freeware software, it was nice tool and I appreciate the efforts behind his simple media player.
