If you want to play a movie with MPC HC you need to navigate to the movie from Windows Explorer which would bypass WMC or XBMC completely and really take away from the user experience. The reason is because it is not a media center platform like Windows Media Center or XBMC. Even though MPC HC sounds like the perfect player I have never really used for playback of my movies on my HTPCs. I have always used MPC HC to test out my videos before I copy over to my server to make sure everything looks ok. It also has native support for DXVA (DirectX Video Acceleration) which is especially critical for low powered CPUs of PCs. What this means is that you don’t have to mess around with dreaded codecs or filters on your PC to play back video, simply install MPC HC and you are ready to play virtually any video.
One of the great features of MPC HC is that the audio and video codecs are built-in. MPC HC (known as Media Player Classic – Home Cinema) is a free and versatile audio and video player for Windows.
