MPC-BE is a free media player that can be used to play a wide range of different media file types.

Quality audio and video for free

MPC-BE (or to use its full name, Media Player Classic - BE) is an update of the earlier Media Player Classic and Media Player Classic Home Cinema apps, with new features and bug fixes included to improve your experience. The basic concept of the program remains the same, however. Quite simply, this is an app designed to give video and audio files the highest-quality playback you could desire on your device.

A range of playing options

MPC-BE comes with a variety of playback options. The app is capable of accessing media from your hard-drive, from URLs, or from DVDs and CDs. You can build playlists and favorite folders out of your most-viewed files. All of these options, and many more, can be accessed from simple menus thanks to the app's user-friendly interface.

More features to try out

In addition to its basic playback functions, MPC-BE has a selection of tools that can be used to enhance your viewing experience. You can access subtitles, either built into the file or imported from an external document. You can adjust the framerate of a video. It is also possible to apply filters and shaders, although this process may be fiddly or complicated for novices.

A good all-round media player

If you are in need of a reliable media player, than MPC-BE will be a safe bet. While there are many other media players on the market, from VLC to Windows Media Player, MPC-BE stands out as a worthy alternative that has all of the features most users could need, bundled together in a free app.
