VLC is a stand-alone media player like WMP and will play all it can
and more. Media Player Classic is also a stand-alone player but is
more of a front-end replacement for any players and codecs you have
installed. Neither programs install their own codecs. What I like
about Media Player Classic is let's say you have the latest quicktime
(not pro) software installed. Media Player Classic can then play
quicktime and MP4 video files and give you features like fullscreen
not offered in non-pro version of quicktime.
