MPC-HC on the contrary needs addons to cope with that. In addition, reported by some users, MPC-BE supports WASAPI directly, sends the correct number of audio channels over HDMI to the AVR without any intermediary.

Also, MPC-HC is integrated graphics enforced, therefore is more troublesome than MPC-BE in terms of shipping a discrete graphic like MadVR. Since Media Player Classic Home Cinema cooperates with LAV filter, it is more efficient in decoding high-res video codecs like HEVC, H.2656/264, VP9/8, which, yet on the other hand results in the less effective support for HW decoding, in comparison with MPC-BE, due to DXVA1.0 incompatibility. The only difference that matters between the two players is the use of LAV Filters. The latest version of MPC-BE is V1.4.6, and the newest version of MPC-HC has already come to 1.7.10. However, MPC-BE is not as frequently updated as MPC-HC. Both the players support many languages and almost all media files. Some prefer MPC-HC's LAV filters for decoding while others prefer MPC-BE's preview pane on the navigation bar like what YouTube is doing. Generally, from users' perspective, there aren't many big differences between the two players.
