MPC-HC v1.7.13 - The Final Version

[Arthur]

 

Website / Download / Changelog

 

v1.7.13, the latest, and probably the last release of our project.

 

For quite a few months now, or even years, the number of active developers has been decreasing and has inevitably reached zero. This, unfortunately, means that the project is officially dead and this release would be the last one.

 

… Unless some people step up that is.

 

So, if someone’s willing to really contribute and has C/C++ experience, let me know on IRC or via e-mail.

 

Otherwise, all things come to an end and life goes on. It’s been a nice journey and I’m personally pretty overwhelmed having to write this post.

 

Thanks to everyone who has contributed in any way all these years; Remember, MPC-HC is an 11-year old project.

Thats sad! hopefully some people will pick it up. It has replaced VLC for me.

I much prefer it over VLC too, especially when combined with the madVR filter which improves the quality of the video.

 

Hopefully this isn't the end of MPC-HC and someone is found to continue updating it/adding new features.

Used to great when it was packed with codec packs.

Used to great when it was packed with codec packs.

One of the best things the MPC-HC developer did was to integrate the LAV Filters. From v1.7.0 onwards there wasn't any need to use codec packs.

 

v1.7.0 - 29 September 2013

Replace the internal filters with LAV Filters. LAV Filters are modern open source DirectShow filters based on FFmpeg. They are known to be reliable and fast and overall should be more stable than the old filters. MPC-HC integrates LAV Filters directly and no extra installation steps are required. The embedded version of LAV Filters doesn’t interfere at all with other installed DirectShow filters (including the standalone versions of LAV Filters).

 

 

 

 

It still is great IMO.
