From ProductWiki, free unbiased product reports for the consumer.

Media Player Classic (MPC) is a compact free software media player for Microsoft Windows. The application mimics the look and feel of the old, light-weight Windows Media Player 6.4 and uses a completely different codebase, integrating many options and features found in modern media players.

Media Player Classic was created and is currently maintained by a programmer named "Gabest". Gabest originally developed Media Player Classic as a closed-source application, but later decided to make it open source. Media Player Classic is licensed under the GPL and has its own SourceForge.net project called Guliverkli.

A large number of the codecs, readers, and splitters are also available separately from the Guliverkli project page.

This shouldn't really be compared to foobar and winamp... its not really meant to be a music player, and foobar and winamp aren't really meant to be video players.

I really like it though... It occasionally has issues crashing when you drag from one monitor to another, but it seems thats a facet of playing videos on a PC in general more then MPC.
