This will take you directly to Google and automatically enters the name of the file that you're playing as well.īut there is another option in MPC that's disable by default (see below screenshot), which can be used to automatically search an online subtitle database (won't open any web browser unlike with the above method) within the player itself, all you have to do is just put a 'check' mark on the appropriate subtitle and it'll be automatically loaded into the movie which is totally awesome than the above method.MediaPlayerLite is a free software published in the Other list of programs, part of Audio & Multimedia. Well, you can easily search for its subtitle by from the main menu : 'File' -> 'Subtitle database' -> 'Search'. Although this refers to the MS Windows which was used to be the 'default' player around Win 2000 I think (they still ship it though) but K-Lite MPC is actually as nothing to do with MS, they've just create a player of their own (which uses the MPLayer as the engine) and is released under the GNU/GPL license, it just looks like MPC, that's all :).Īnyhow lets say that you have purchased a DVD and have Ripped it so it'd fit into a CD, which is legal :) (say 700MB in size) then wouldn't it be nice if you could let MPC automatically search and download the proper subtitle when you watch it?. It even has a player of its own called Media player classic. still you don't have to search here and there for few dozens of codecs since K-Lite installs them by default.Īnyhow, back to the story.

Although it does not have any GUI front-ends for encoding MP3, etc (it only installs the libraries of codecs that can be used to encode files). Not just for playback (decoding) actually, say that you also wanted to have their (both audio and video) encoders such as MP3, Vorbis, Xvid, Divx, etc then again K-lite is pretty darn good!. K-Lite developers make sure to frequently update their codecs and release new versions frequently.

If you want to install almost all of known multimedia codecs in MS Windows via a single application, then I don't think there are that many who can beat K-lite codec pack!.
