It is just a matter of preference, really. You won't be able to, because there is no difference. Stop this elitist crap or name an actual media file that has a significant difference in quality in VLC and another media player that I can reproduce on my own PC. There's no recognizeable difference for the human ear yet people claim/praise FLAC is better. That's the same with FLAC and 320 VBR/CBR MP3s. The quality has little to nothing to do with the used player itself but with the used codecs of that player.Įvery media player uses certain codecs and there is some kind of standard at least among open source players (FFMPEG anyone?), so the topical OS players basically use the same codecs and have little to no differences that would quantify the conclusion player A quality > player B quality. People should finally stop arguing with 'different' quality, or that one topical player has better quality than the other topical one. I'm not trying to convince you further but I'm just saying. If MPC-HC were to get an ipad remote app, then maybe I'd consider it, but until then, I'll stick with VLC.Ī handheld wireless keyboard could do that, and works for any software, including navigating your entire desktop from your bed. Thanks for help, but I've already expressed my indifference towards the slight graphical improvements that MPC has, seeing as they will be pretty much imperceivable from the back of my bed. Now that problem will not happen and you have upgrayed your VLC. Install it, turn off auto-loading subtitles in mpc's playback tab, and set directvobsub to preffered in the external filters tab. Go ahead and install madvr and set it as your renderer under the output tab if you think your GPU can handle it.Īnd if we've gone this far why not just install xy-VSfilter and then you have pretty much one of the best media players there is. The people claiming MPC-HC is superior in quality are really (or should) be talking about the codecs they add to it combined with the functionality of the MPC-HC frontend.ĭownload LAV filters,, install them, uncheck all MPC-HC internal formats in the formats tab, and add LAV filters as preferred in the external filter options. I'll be the first to say that VLC supports more video and audio formats out of the box compared to MPC-HC.
