Media Player Classic – Black Edition (aka MPC-BE) is based on the original “Media Player Classic” project (Gabest) and “Media Player Classic Home Cinema” project (Casimir666). MPC-BE contains additional features and bug fixes. With MPC-BE you can play almost all types of video and audio files. MPC-BE also supports hardware decoding and deinterlacing. With MPC-BE, you can watch Youtube videos directly inside the player by just copy and pasting the Youtube link inside it. MPC-BE also allows you automatically mount ISO images and a lot more.
