About 10 years ago, I replaced KMPlayer with PotPlayer. And now I replaced PotPlayer with MPC-HC.

Reasons

  • The hall of shame, I did not care about that before, but do now
  • More ads than before, many pop-up ads break the user experience
  • Complex settings required to reach the standard level of MPC-HC

MPC-HC

MPC-HC is an extremely light-weight, open source media player for Windows®. It supports all common video and audio file formats available for playback. 100% spyware free, there are no advertisements or toolbars.1

The MPC-HC is good enough on itself, so we just need to focus on ext-plugins and graphics card settings.
