35-527: This project is now principally maintained by the community at the Doom9 forum. The active forks are Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) by clsid2 (same developer known as clsid responsible for MPC 6.4.9.1 ), and Media Player Classic - Black Edition (MPC-BE) by aleksoid. The original Media Player Classic was created and maintained by a programmer named "Gabest" who also created PCSX2 graphics plugin GSDX. It

70-512: A mouseover , is an event occurring when the user moves the cursor over a specified point on a computer monitor using a computer mouse . Also called a hover effect, mouseovers are graphical controls that respond when a user moves their mouse pointer over a designated area. This area can be a button, image, or hyperlink . This simple action can trigger different responses. The element's color or appearance can change. Additional information or interactive content can be displayed. The mouseover effect

105-723: A portable application . Media Player Classic is primarily based on the DirectShow architecture and therefore automatically uses installed DirectShow decoding filters. For instance, after the open source DirectShow decoding filter ffdshow has been installed, fast and high quality decoding and postprocessing of the MPEG-4 ASP , H.264 , and Flash Video formats is available in the original MPC. MPC-HC and MPC-BE , however, can play videos in these formats directly without ffdshow . MPC-HC and MPC-BE also provide DXVA support for compatible Intel , Nvidia , and ATI / AMD video cards when using

140-604: A compatible codec . This provides hardware-acceleration for playback. In addition to DirectShow, MPC can also use the QuickTime , RealPlayer , and SHOUTcast codecs and filters (if installed on the computer) to play their native files. Though some of these files may play without the external codecs or filters installed. Alternatively, QuickTime Alternative and Real Alternative can be used in place of their player installations for expanded support of their respective file formats. MPC supports playback and recording of television if

175-538: A modification of MPC-HC made by a programmer nicknamed "bobdynlan". The first version (1.0.1.0) was released on September 12, 2012. Starting with version 1.5.0, released in December 2016, MPC-BE no longer supports Windows XP . Support for Windows Vista ended at version 1.6.7, released May 2023. MPC-BE version 1.5.1 and newer require SSE2 supporting CPU and no longer run on Intel Pentium III or AMD Athlon XP . Nightly builds are also available. Media Player Classic

210-469: A month and a half after the official final version. It requires CPUs with SSE2 support and no longer runs on Intel Pentium III or AMD Athlon XP . Updated builds of MPC-HC, a fork from the same developer (known as clsid2 on GitHub / SourceForge ) responsible for MPC 6.4.9.1, started appearing in January 2018. This fork contains updated internal codecs (LAV Filters), AV1 support, youtube-dl integration,

245-497: A mouseover is an event. Web developers can use this event to create dynamic, responsive web experiences. Using HTML , CSS , and JavaScript , designers can define what happens when a user hovers over an element. This could be a visual change, displaying additional content, or even activating complex animations. Mouseover effects are important for improving user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design. They provide immediate visual feedback to users, indicating that an element

280-475: A new dark theme, video preview on seekbar, support for MPC Video Renderer, A-B Repeat, subtitle performance improvements; support for Windows XP was dropped in these builds. Binary releases are available, as well as source code. Media Player Classic - Black Edition (MPC-BE) is a fork of MPC and MPC-HC. It moved away from MPC's aim to mimic the look and feel of Windows Media Player with updated player controls and provides additional features on top of MPC-HC such as

315-468: A question mark icon next to a form field. A tooltip could display an explanation. It could explain what information is required or provide an example of valid input. Example : Tooltips provide additional information when users hover over elements. Here is a simple example using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Navigation menus are a crucial part of any website. They guide users to different sections or pages. Mouseover effects play an important role in enhancing

420-569: A video preview tooltip when hovering the mouse cursor over the seek bar, as known from video platforms such as YouTube and Dailymotion , though many of these features, including the video preview on seekbar, were added to MPC-HC at a later date. MPC-BE, however, doesn't include LAV filters by default, making it less efficient than MPC-HC for decoding. This is most noticeable with higher resolution files, newer codecs, or on lower end hardware. Player development began in February 2011. Developers used

455-514: Is also a 64 bit-version of Media Player Classic - Home Cinema for the various Windows x64 platforms. MPC-HC requires at least Windows XP Service Pack 3. As of version 1.4.2499.0, MPC-HC implemented color management support, an uncommon feature that nearly all video players on Microsoft Windows lack. Windows 8 support was introduced in version 1.6.5. Beginning with version 1.6.6 the stable releases are signed. Apart from stable releases as published, nightly builds are also publicly available. MPC-HC

490-512: Is also distributed in the PortableApps format . MPC-HC 1.7.8 released in 2015 was built with the MediaInfoLib 0.7.71. MPC-HC 1.7.1 adds support for H.265/HEVC codec. MPC-HC 1.7.13 is the final version of the program that was officially discontinued as of July 16, 2017 due to a shortage of active developers with C/C++ experience. Its source code on GitHub was last updated on August 27, 2017,

525-408: Is an essential part of user interaction. It adds layers of interactivity and responsiveness to websites and applications. A mouseover is essentially an event that occurs when a user hovers their mouse pointer over a specific area on a digital interface. The user does not need to click or do any other input. Just placing the pointer over the element is enough to trigger the effect. In technical terms,

560-637: Is capable of VCD , SVCD , and DVD playback without installation of additional software or codecs . MPC has built-in codecs for MPEG-2 video with support for subtitles and codecs for LPCM , MP2 , 3GP , AC3 , and DTS audio; along with native playback of the Matroska container format . MPC also contains an improved MPEG splitter that supports playback of VCDs and SVCDs using its VCD/SVCD/XCD Reader. On October 30, 2005, Gabest added MP4 and MPEG-4 Timed Text support. Adobe Flash movies (SWF) can be played and frames jumped to. Supported media formats within

595-486: Is essential for easy navigation. Example : Dropdown navigation menus are a common use of mouseover effects. Here is an example: Image galleries are a popular feature on many websites. They are often used in portfolios, e-commerce sites, and photography blogs. Mouseover effects can improve the user experience in image galleries. These effects add interactive elements. They engage users and encourage them to explore more content. One common use of mouseover in image galleries

630-613: Is good for making simple and effective hover effects. JavaScript allows more complex and dynamic behaviors when a user hovers over an element. JavaScript can control exactly what happens when a mouseover event occurs. This includes displaying tooltips, changing content, or triggering animations and transitions that are beyond what CSS can do. This is done using event listeners, particularly onmouseover and onmouseout . Event listeners: onmouseover and onmouseout JavaScript event listeners help developers run code when specific events happen. The onmouseover event listener runs code when

665-431: Is interactive and can be engaged with. This feedback helps guide users through a website or application, letting them know which elements are clickable or interactive without having to click first. From a UX perspective, mouseover effects contribute to a more intuitive and engaging experience. They make interfaces feel more dynamic and responsive, which can lead to higher user satisfaction and better overall interaction with

700-496: Is not dead but that he was unable to work on it. MPC 6.4.9.0, released March 20, 2006, is the final official version. In August 2007, an unofficially patched and updated build became available, from Doom9 member clsid, hosted under the guliverkli2 project at SourceForge.net . Known as Media Player Classic 6.4.9.1, it was meant for fixing bugs and updating outdated libraries; its branch's development has been inactive since 2011. MPC 6.4.9.1 Revision 107, released February 14, 2010,

735-631: Is the final release version. The community at the Doom9 forum has since further continued the project with MPC-HC. A fork, called Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) , adds new features, as well as fixes bugs and updates libraries. It also updated the license to GPL-3.0-or-later . MPC-HC updates the original player and adds many useful functionalities including the option to remove tearing , additional video decoders (in particular H.264, VC-1 and MPEG-2 with DirectX Video Acceleration support), Enhanced Video Renderer support, and multiple bug fixes. There

770-436: Is the zoom effect. When a user hovers over a thumbnail or image, the image might zoom in slightly. This gives the user a closer look at the details. This effect can be particularly useful in product galleries. Users want to inspect the quality or features of an item before making a purchase. Another use of mouseover in image galleries is to display additional information or previews. For example, hovering over an image could reveal

805-485: The appearance of these elements change dynamically. This creates a more engaging and interactive user experience. For example, :hover can be used to change the background color of a button when a user hovers over the button. Another example is to add a shadow to an image when it's hovered over. The possibilities with :hover are vast, and the implementation is simple. 1. Changing background color on hover: 2. Changing text color on hover: 3. Adding shadow on hover CSS

840-405: The buttons. Buttons with mouseover effects also add sophistication to the design. For instance, a subtle animation that makes the button "lift" or "glow" when hovered over can make the website feel more dynamic and polished. Beyond visual effects, buttons can trigger other actions on hover. These actions can include displaying a tooltip with additional information, revealing hidden content, or playing

875-725: The image's title, description, or even a short animation. This can make the gallery more informative and interactive. It offers users a richer experience. Mouseover effects can also be used to create slideshow-like transitions. Hovering over an image can change it to another version or angle. This gives users a dynamic view of the content without requiring clicks. Example : Mouseover effects can enhance image galleries, for example, by zooming in on an image when hovered. Buttons are essential in web design. They allow users to take actions like submitting forms, making purchases, or navigating to different pages. Using mouseover effects on buttons can make them more interactive and responsive. This enhances

910-484: The latest builds of MPC-HC and MPC-BE have been considerably expanded compared to the original MPC, as these builds are bundled with iterations of libavcodec and libavformat. MPC-HC version 1.7.0 and newer utilize LAV filters, while MPC-BE uses FFmpeg directly. Consequently, they support all formats from those libraries. MPC-HC is also one of the first media players to support Dolby Atmos audio natively. MPC can use an INI file in its application folder, making it

945-473: The most common uses of mouseover effects in web design. Tooltips are small, informative pop-ups. They appear when a user hovers over an element. The elements can be icons, buttons, or text. The primary purpose of tooltips is to provide additional information or context. This helps avoid cluttering the interface. Tooltips are an excellent solution. They can deliver helpful hints, explanations, or details. These details might be too cumbersome to display directly on

980-493: The overall user experience. They provide instant visual feedback. For example, when a user hovers over a menu item, the background color might change. Or an arrow might appear, indicating that more options are available. This makes it clear to the user that the item is interactive and will reveal further choices. Dropdown menus can be particularly useful on websites with a large amount of content. This includes e-commerce sites, where organizing products into categories and subcategories

1015-403: The overall user experience. When a user hovers over a button, the button's appearance changes. For example, the color may change, a shadow may be added, or the button may become slightly larger. This visual feedback tells the user that the button is active and ready to be clicked. This feedback is crucial for usability. It shows users which elements are interactive and encourages them to engage with

1050-434: The page. For example, in a complex web application. It has numerous icons or buttons. Tooltips can explain the function of each element. This reduces the learning curve for new users. Tooltips only appear when needed. This keeps the interface clean and focused. Users can access extra information on demand. Tooltips are commonly found in forms. They can offer guidance on how to fill out specific fields. For instance, hovering over

1085-526: The screen. This ability to present information on demand is especially valuable in complex interfaces, where screen real estate is limited. Mouseover effects are often used in web design. They are created using HTML and CSS. These technologies make it easy and efficient to make web elements more interactive and responsive. One of the key tools for creating mouseover effects in CSS is the :hover pseudo-class. The :hover pseudo-class in CSS allows developers to define

1120-451: The site. For example, a button that changes color when hovered over feels more alive and interactive than a static one, encouraging users to click and explore further. Mouseover effects can also be used to reveal additional information without cluttering the interface. For instance, tooltips—small text boxes that appear when hovering over an element—can provide helpful hints, definitions, or additional context without taking up permanent space on

1155-426: The styles that should be applied to an element. The styles are applied when the user hovers their mouse pointer over the element. Unlike static CSS properties, the :hover pseudo-class targets an element only when a specific condition (hovering) is met. The styles are not applied at all times. The :hover pseudo-class can be applied to almost any HTML element. This includes text, images, buttons, and links. By using :hover,

1190-418: The usability and functionality of navigation menus. This is particularly true for dropdown menus. A dropdown menu is a type of navigation menu. It reveals additional links or options when a user hovers over a main menu item. This allows users to explore subcategories or related pages without needing to click. This makes the navigation process smoother and more efficient. Mouseover effects in dropdown menus improve

1225-604: Was developed as a closed-source application, but later relicensed as free software under the terms of the GPL-2.0-or-later license. MPC is hosted under the guliverkli project at SourceForge.net . The project itself is something of an umbrella organization for works by Gabest. Media Player Classic development stalled in May 2006. Gabest, the main developer of the original version, stated in March 2007 that development of Media Player Classic
