The people that look down on VLC users are silly, but it's not like the only reason to use MPC is elitism. However, for those that actually want to put some effort into tweaking their AV-setup, and want to make use of Windows-specific software, MPC is a great media player, one of the few programs (including Foobar) that I sorely miss on Linux. I haven't looked at a stock MPC install in a while, but it's possible that stock VLC works better than that. VLC is good software and probably the best solution for people who just want to watch some videos without configuring anything. MPC just happens to be a really lightweight, stable, and customizable DirectShow-based media player. Why your a/v is out of sync is actually a combination of your processor speed, sound driver capabilities, quality of file being played, and perhaps some other factor. configure -help to see the available options and select what you need. You need to inspect report while the file is playing, and use resample audio filter. If something does not work as expected, try. configure -enable-gui if you want to use the GUI. GUI support has to be enabled separately, run. These plugins can be used in any media playing software for Windows that supports DirectShow filters, such as the official Windows Media Player. /configure to configure MPlayer with the default options. That's more than enough for me, but there's also ReClock (similar to the RetroArch emulator, perfectly syncs the video to the display and slightly shifts the pitch of the audio to compensate), various vendor-specific hardware-accelerated video decoders, xy-VSFilter, the LAV filter suite (which support, amongst other things, bitstreaming, the ability to pass compressed audio streams through to a digital receiver), and others I'm probably forgetting. The most important that springs to mind is MadVR, a video renderer with support for high-quality GPU-accelerated upscaling filters, and the ability to set separate upscaling filters for the chroma and luma channels. Like it or not, a number of high quality open-source "audio/videophile" (for lack of a better term) media player plugins exist solely as Windows DirectShow filters. VLC is built largely around the cross-platform ffmpeg libraries and does not seem to have the ability to use native Windows DirectShow filters, in the interest of being portable and removing a source of configuration errors. >The only "nerd circle" I know that is fixated on MPC are otakus, for no meaningful reasons except to make themselves feel superior. Kinda surprised that the grandparent (asked an honest question) is getting downvoted while this post (made a baseless claim) isn't.
