Windows Media Player isn't that great.

VLC or Media Player Classic are both good though. Choose whichever.

thanks m8, will download VLC. also what exactly is ''K-Lite Codec Pack''? should i download it?
>>
>>130097

I'm not an expert on what it does, but it allows MPC or whatever else to be able to playback file types as well as give it other options. Although I feel like MPC itself has probably been updated to be able to play a bunch of file types, but maybe I'm just an idiot.

Check out the website and read the FAQ if you really want some in-depth knowledge about it: http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

Just download K-Lite Codec Pack, MPC comes with it

It's also better than VLC

You don't need any codec packs with MPC-HC, it will work fine out of the box. If you want to optimize it for certain types of playback there are specific addons you can install.

It seems to be the only media player where I can do this

I don't understand? Why would you need that for watching videos?
>>
>>130252
I just mean generally. My apologizes

VLC is alright, but MCP-HC (with CCCP codec pack) is the way forward, but the codec isn't necessary unless you watch anime.

>but the codec isn't necessary unless you watch anime.
It isn't necessary if you watch anime either, it's full of shit that's already standard in MPC-HC and tons of other shit that's already depreciated. Just install MadVR and your subtitle renderer of choice and you're good.
