Review Media Player Classic Home Cinema

If we talk about Windows Media Player, we are sure that it is a program that all our readers will know since it is nothing more than the player installed in the Microsoft operating system. Few know that this program derives from another, later discontinued by the Redmond company but continued in its development and released in open-source format.

This is the application we are interested in today, Media Player Classic Home Cinema, a player for computers that tries to become an excellent alternative to the one usually installed on our PCs. Of course, Media Player Classic Home Cinema is free, so you will not have to pay anything to install it on your computer whenever you want to enjoy it.

One of this player's most exciting features is its versatility or ability to adapt to the type of experience we are looking for. To give you an idea of this, you have to consider that Media Player Classic Home Cinema is fully compatible with all the versions of Windows that have been released so far, so you don't have to worry about its support.

Another exciting thing about Media Player Classic Home Cinema is that because it is an open-source application, we can customize many aspects to adapt perfectly to the type of use we intend to give it. To that, you must add that it not only takes up little space within our browser but also consumes minimal system resources, so it is a perfect solution in almost all cases.

The operation or commands of Media Player Classic Home Cinema will not take you a minute to learn because the truth is that they are similar to what we can find when we use Windows Media Player. This issue makes it an excellent choice for those who are not looking for too advanced players and do not have previous experience with them.

With which formats is Media Player Classic Home Cinema compatible? With practically all the formats that are commonly used nowadays. We can then point out the cases of some of them, for example, the following: BMP, D2V, MP4, SWF, QT, WMV, CDA, JPEG, GIF, PNG, M3U, PLS, WAX, WM, WMA, MP2, VOB, AC3, DTS, ASX, AU, AIF, AIFC, AIFF, MIDI, OGG, ASF, AVI, MOV, SND, MPEG, MPG, WAV, WMA or MP3. As you can see, it is possible to forget the lack of codecs in such cases completely.

Then, if you want to work with more complicated formats, such as QuickTime or RealPlayer, in those cases, we recommend you download the codecs and add them to those that Media Player Classic Home Cinema has had since its development. This way, you will transform this player into one that solves all your viewing needs for both audio and video. What about videos that have heavier resolutions or higher quality? No problem, because this tool can play large videos with resolutions of 1080p without problems. That is to say, a system that will allow you to eliminate any other video player you have installed on your computer because, in a short time, it will show you that it is capable of dealing with any of these files.

It is time then to stop at the design or user interface of Media Player Classic Home Cinema, of which we must quickly say that we believe it is one of the few points that we could consider as unfavorable of this software. The truth is that we are in the presence of an application that is not too shiny from the visual point of view, which probably has to do with the fact that it has not received updates in this regard for some time.

As we always try to do, we will point out some of the main strong points that Media Player Classic Home Cinema has to offer us. We start then because it is compatible with all versions of Windows and almost all known video formats. To that, you have to add that it turns out to be a very light program and that it is easy to use, even for those who do not know it before.

Now, what are the aspects of Media Player Classic Home Cinema that we liked the least? In this case, we can mention only one, although you should consider that it is not a minor one. We are talking about the application's design, which we did not like too much, as it is somewhat obsolete if we compare it directly with many other current video players.

In summary, Media Player Classic Home Cinema is an excellent alternative for all users looking for an audio and video player other than the Windows Media Player installed on their computers from the factory. If you are looking for almost absolute compatibility with all kinds of formats and you don't care too much about the aesthetic aspect, this can become your everyday player.
