About Mpc Qt
MPC-QT (Media Player Classic Qute Theater) is an open-source media player that reimplements much of the MPC-HC interface with Qt and uses libmpv for video playback instead of DirectShow. It offers release and development builds for Windows and Linux, including AppImage, Flatpak, and native builds, with packages available for various systems. Unimplemented options dialog features are hidden or disabled, while encoding support similar to VirtualDub is listed only as a possible upcoming feature; compiling from source requires the Qt6 SDK and a recent libmpv (0.37.0 or git head).
