Download Media Player Classic Home Cinema v1.6.5
Download Media Player Classic Home Cinema v1.6.5 This great open Source Media Player allows you to enhance, decode and accelerate a broad span of movie formats like x.264 with GPU assisted acceleration and image quality enhancing. 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 x.264, H.264 and VC-1 with hardly any CPU time required.
This project is based on the original "Media Player Classic" and was created after Gabest, the original author, stopped. The download has both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions in the 7ZIP self extractable archive.

thx, just tried it, integrated into my mpc hc with lav and madvr..
without the hali renderer crap..
anyway, yes there is indeed a diff. i now know what u mean..
its pretty damn intensive, lol..(i wonder how a pron would look like with this on,

Playing a normal mkv (720p), my GPU usage rockets to 90+% (maybe thats where the frame drops come from ??? not shure need to investigate), and my CPU load is at around 30% (But not in idle anymore, its at full speed (3.8Ghz).
keep in mind, my gpu is underclocked while playing videos..
still thats a huge increase..
Im gonna test it a bit more and see if i wanna use it also..
But right now it defeats the purpose of a energy friendly video evening..
without the svp, i might dont have the effect, but its still smooth and my cpu stays under 2000mhz (half idle) and my gpu around 50% @ 400mhz core and 1100mhz ram..
so, im not shure..

Yes its very intensive, i love it.

i can only imagine how awesome this must look on a 120hz screen

Beta , why are you underclocking your gpu when you are using gpu accelleration for video ? that is , im assuming you do, not sure

well, different question...
why do i need my gpu clocked at 800mhz, etc, to watch my movies, when 400mhz and lower ram, do the same, just cooler and withing 50% gpu usage.(tested with 1080p - 50mb/s bitrate Avatar Blueray..)
If i do not underclock the GPU usage is around 30%.
the gpu is cooler and uses less power???
dunno if my logic is right, duh...

But it worked fine so far..

You complained of frame drops with v high GPU usage.

Why use the Lite version?
The full version has been working great here for months, its much easier to install.
yes, but the full version has outdated 3rd party software
