For MPC-HC changing the pause option to 'left down' means left down pauses/resumes and dragging the video to move the player is disabled. If the player thinks you're dragging though, clicking doesn't pause so clicking to pause isn't 100% reliable. It keeps playing the video though and when you release the mouse button it's ignored, so that way the left mouse button can be used to drag the player without pausing the video, but it can still be used to pause the video if you don't drag. While holding the left button down if you move the mouse the player is dragged across the display. When it's set to 'left up' clicking on the video and holding the mouse button down doesn't pause as it's not 'up' yet. Some protesting in the MPC-HC thread at doom9 led me to discover that for MPC-HC, the left click on video option for pause/resume had been changed to 'left up' and for 'left up' dragging is enabled.

I say that because after a MPC-HC update a while back (it was quite a while ago) it developed the same problem. Anything's possible, but I'd be surprised if it's machine specific. One guy reports a bug, another says what the Hell are you talking about. Though I have no doubt it happens on that machine.

I haven't seen the pause/play misbehavior in MPC-BE described by hello_hello. Sometimes it really is the little things. For MPC-HC, the 'left click down' option disables dragging the video so left clicking on it to pause and resume works perfectly. MPC-BE tends to think you want to drag the video so left clicking to pause/resume only works intermittently and it drives me nuts as I'm stuck in my ways. It doesn't work reliably, I believe because you can also move the player window by clicking on the video and dragging it to a new location on the screen.

I don't think there's a portable version though.Р вЂќР’В®ven if the latest MPC-BE ran on XP, which it doesn't, for me the deal-breaker is the way it handles pausing and resuming playback when you left click on the video, which I do a lot.

I mention Potplayer as it no doubt started life based an a lot of MPC or MPC-HC code with the extra stuff added, so it's not completely dissimilar, and some people like the extra functionality. Many people here like it but I find it a bit bloated and prefer the more simplistic MPC-HC. It's kind of like MPC-HC/BE with more options and functionality added. MPC-HC is probably updated a bit more, but from a user perspective they're still pretty similar. If memory serves correctly the guy mainly responsible for maintaining the MPC-HC decoders packed up his bat and split off to MPC-BE, and a short time later MPC-HC switched to using LAV filters for decoding, which I prefer. They're really not all that different from a user perceptive though. MPC-BE has a YouTube like preview above the navigation bar if you're into that sort of thing. Not that I think they'd interfere with each other's settings anyway, but using an ini file means they can't. When it's enabled it works as advertised, saving the settings to an ini file in the player's folder instead of the Windows registry. They both have a preference labelled 'save settings to ini file'. They have portable versions so you can download both flavours, unzip each to it's own folder, and run them from there. I'd suggest you try both MPC-HC and MPC-BE to see which you prefer.

MPC is old an outdated so you don't want to use that.
