Software Update: Media Player Classic – Home Cinema 1.7.3

Media Player Classic is a small no-nonsense media player with the look and feel of Windows Media Player 6.4. However, Gabest, the original creator of this program, discontinued development quite some time ago and several projects have sprung up based on the open source source code, including Media Player Classic – Home Cinema. The program handles the most commonly used media formats, has hardware acceleration support and is available in more than 25 languages. Version 1.7.3 has been released with the following changes and improvements:
