I don't care about subtitle support really, but the main reasons I use MPC-HC over VLC are the following:

1) MadVR, which is absolutely essential with my Plasma TV to get smooth jitter free playback.
2) ffdshow filters
3) Modularity (which can also be a curse)

I did try to compile 1.2 on Ubuntu but it had stability problems and crashed often or sound stopped working. A nice feature was sound font support for MIDI files.

Also every ppa offers their own version of VLCPlayer that makes things confusing. Eg the latest VLC from one ppa had stuttery playback while another ppa with an older version, yet compiled recently, had no problems.

I'll try the Windows build,it might be more stable.

VLC made much progress and can compete with any media player.

I ditched ffdshow and Reclock because they interefered with some games in-game fmv or sound output and crashed.

If I have manually to configure every game for ffdshow, forget it.

Players like VLC are more convenient.
