Das Programm orientiert sich vom Aussehen und der Bedienung her am altehrwürdigen Windows Media Player 6.4, wobei die schlichte Optik allerdings über den wahren Funktionsumfang hinwegtäuscht. Das Multitalent unterstützt von Haus aus eine Unmenge an Dateiformaten und Codecs, sodass die Installation von Codec-Packs hinfällig ist. Zudem werden moderne Features wie die Hardwarebeschleunigung von Videos, die als Codec x.264, H.264 oder VC-1 nutzen, über die DXVA-Schnittstelle beherrscht. Aufgrund der gegenüber dem VLC media player anderen Implementierung dieses Features, können bereits alle AMD/ATI Radeons ab der HD-2000-Serie und natürlich alle NVIDIA GeForce ab der 8000er Serie zur deutlichen Entlastung der CPU genutzt werden. Mehr Informationen zum DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) Support lassen sich auf der Internetseite des MPC-HC finden.

Der Media Player Classic Home Cinema läuft unter Windows ab XP SP3 und steht sowohl als 32-Bit- als auch 64-Bit-Version zum Download bereit.
