Media Player Classic is een kleine no-nonsense-mediaspeler met het uiterlijk van Windows Media Player 6.4. Gabest, de originele maker van dit programma, heeft de ontwikkeling echter alweer een tijdje geleden gestaakt en er zijn verschillende projecten ontstaan op basis van deze opensourcebroncode, waaronder Media Player Classic Home Cinema. Het programma kan overweg met de meest gebruikte mediaformaten, heeft ondersteuning voor hardwareacceleratie en is in meer dan 25 talen te gebruiken. Versie 1.6.8 is uitgekomen en hierin treffen we onder meer diverse verbeteringen met betrekking tot dvb-t aan en natuurlijk de gebruikelijke bugfixes.
