(Note: Since the original MPC-HC project ended development in 2017, it is highly recommended to download a "Community Maintained" or "Claasic" build from trusted sources like or VideoHelp to ensure compatibility with Windows 10/11 and newer codecs).
Just a heads up for anyone looking for a clean video player. MPC-HC (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema) is still actively maintained and remains the best lightweight player for Windows.
