Media Player Classic – BE has a design that looks better than MPC’s Windows 98-style looks. Additionally, it also informs you whether the current video playback is being hardware-accelerated by your GPU or not, by showing you the GPU icon near the volume slider.
The navigation bar is sleek and has all your basic controls for media playback; pause, play, stop, next, previous, open file and volume, as well as the seek bar. You also can quickly change audio and subtitle streams via the handy buttons in the navigation area.
<pmedia player classic – be also has an additional settings panel that is not available on the original mpc. this area in which you can make several cosmetic changes including theme color and brightness, osd, rgb, anti-aliasing, tooltips, font etc.
