Software Update: Media Player Classic 6.4.6.0

Media Player Classic (MPC) is an open source media player for Windows platform developed by the writer of VobSub. The program is able to play DVD movies, display subtitles and has many different options to set the picture as perfect as possible. In addition, it is possible to play these formats using Real Media and Quicktime codecs without having to install the original player. Recently version 6.4.6.0 was released with the following changelog:

Version 6.4.6.0

• built-in mpeg1/mpeg2 decoder (also for dvds)
• file open dialog will open all files from the current directory when the “open” button is pressed without choosing any file.
• new column for app command buttons at options/player/keys
• logo chooser

Version 6.4.5.9

• fixed two annoying bugs in the avi and matroska splitters
• avi splitter integrated and is favored over dshow’s own, turn it off if you have problems with it (you shouldn’t have much).
• lists ogm and matroska chapters under the “jump to” submenu.
• dx9 renderer for quicktime.
• styles of the currently active text subtitle stream are editable (useful if you want to change something for embedded subs).
• “properties” added to the right click menu.

Version 6.4.5.7
