No matter what IMO Media Player Classic has always been, and will always be the best overall Media Player. I've been using for a very long time on many different OS's and it fulfilled my needs on all of them. I like the look and all the rest, maybe I'm being partial but so what it works 4me :) Great job by the makers so thanks for the hard work.

Typo @ How to extract 3.

.ini, not .exe

It doesn't matter whether your system is 32 or 64 bit, it's the version of MPC-HC you download that matters about the .ini.

I'm using Windows 10 64-bit but the 32-bit version of MPC-HC, the application didn't change the mpc-hc64.ini at all but the mpc-hc.ini.

v1.7.10

In my case, the seeking feature of MPC-HC is not painfully slow, but it's definitely slower than with MPC-BE, for example: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/

v1.7.8

@ripu: thank you for your suggestion. i did reset the settings, but it makes no difference at all. still the same problem here (although fast seek on). searching the net shows several hits regarding the seeking problem, but i have not found a solution to it.

v1.7.8

@skall For me mpc-hc is much faster than potplayer, both in seeking and opening a media file. Make sure to check "Fast seek" in "Options->Tweaks". You can also try to reset the settings from "Options->Miscellaneous".

@system: yes, but unfortunately that didnt change a thing. when seeking through a clip it takes nearly 2 sec. until playback resumes, it is not seamless at all (core i5 8gb ram). such a pitty, as i really would like to give mpc a chance. wonder if i am the only one having this problem?

v1.7.8

SYSTEM 2015-02-20 05:28

@skall: Have you tried the fast seek option (View -> Options -> Tweaks)?

v1.7.8
