Due to a stall in development of ''Media Player Classic'' in May 2006, many bugs were left unfixed. The community at the [[Doom9]] forum has since continued the project in two main veins. The version known as Media Player Classic 6.4.9.1 was meant for fixing bugs and updating outdated libraries; its branch's development is mostly inactive.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=128616|title=Doom9's topic on ''Media Player Classic'' patched build|accessdate=2007-11-11}}</ref> The other version, called '''Media Player Classic Home Cinema''' ('''MPC-HC'''), is meant for adding new features, as well as fixing bugs and updating libraries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=123537|title=Doom9's topic on ''Media Player Classic Home Cinema''|accessdate=2007-11-11}}</ref> Gabest, the main developer of the original version, stated in March 2007 that development of ''Media Player Classic'' is not dead but that he was unable to work on it.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/forums/forum/281014/topic/1690818|title=SourceForge's discussion about project status|accessdate=2011-04-06}}</ref>

Media Player Classic Home Cinema updates the original player and adds many useful functionalities including the option to remove [[Screen tearing|tearing]], additional video decoders (in particular H.264, VC-1 and MPEG-2 with [[DirectX Video Acceleration]] support<ref>[http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/DXVASupport.html DXVA Support in MPC Home Cinema]</ref>), [[Enhanced Video Renderer]] support, and multiple bug fixes. There is also a 64 bit-version of ''Media Player Classic Home Cinema'' that supports Windows XP x64, Windows Vista x64, and Windows 7 x64. MPC-HC as of version 1.4.2499.0 and later is also the first open source media player to implement [[color management]] support.<ref>[http://voxelium.wordpress.com/2010/09/20/icc-color-management-in-media-player-classic-home-cinema/ ICC color management in Media Player Classic Home Cinema]</ref>
