With the classic MPC (Media Player Classic) and powerful MPC-HC (Home Cinema), why do we need this MPC-BE (Black Edition) that mainly developed by Russian programmers separated from the MPC-HC team? Reason is, not only is it based on the former two, but also contains additional features and bug fixes.
MPC-BE recompiled and optimized the MPC, improved and beautified the UI to cater to the contemporary aesthetics. At the same time, it has excellent independent audio/video filters with more media formats support and more powerful processing capabilities, which enables it to play almost all the existing media formats.
Finally, you should know a fact - MPC-BE, MPC-HC, KMPlayer or PotPlayer, they are all using the same source code from MPC; and KMPlayer is also the predecessor of PotPlayer. To put it bluntly, they all have the same "father". Overall, for these internationally known all-powerful media players like KMPlayer, PotPlayer or even MPC-HC that originated from the MPC, MPC-BE already has the absolute advantages to seckill them all.

About MPC-HC
If it were not for the sake of this - MPC-HC has a good pedigree/father, AppNee would have put it into our blacklist. Reason is very simple and direct: any one media player that dare see "double click to exit" such a serious bug as its unique characteristic and has reserved up to now, or even any software that defying the humanized design has no future. Instead, they will finally become a stepping stone of newcomers. In other words, as long as MPC-BE is able to insist and go on, then MPC-HC will soon lose a large number of users.Prompts
- The MPC series of media players have a serious delay problem when playing .ts format of video file (that is, only the sound is heard first, but the picture freezes). PotPlayer, by contrast, has done very well in this regard.
