And resetting can easily be done by pressing the Numlock 5 key.Īnother cool feature that is not so easily possible in the VLC media player is the ability to rotate the video frame using the keyboard or the menus. Just keep pressing the up or the down arrows until you get rid of these black bars. But with MPC-HC, we can use the Numlock up-down arrows to remove them instantly.

It is not easy to get rid of these bars when watching the videos or movies with other players like VideoLAN VLC Media Player. For example, some movies come with those big black bars that appear because of the letter-boxing effect (fitting a video frame inside a particular resolution). MPC-HC offers many features that make it so much convenient to watch movies on a computer. You can also download it from its GitHub webpage at. MPC-HC comes bundled with codec packs like K-Lite Mega Codec pack and can make use of the codecs or filters provided in the pack. That project has later inspired more projects like Media Player Classic – Home Cinema (MPC-HC) and Media Player Classic – Black Edition (MPC-BE).

A long time ago when Microsoft introduced a new modified modern version of their Windows Media Player in Windows XP, the users revolted and created their own Media Player Classic.
