Words cannot convey how sketchy the MP4 codec scene was, pirating media in the Windows XP era. Every month you'd have to find some DivX CCCP K-Lite [cracked].7zip.exe and roll the fuckin' dice.

We were very proficient at reinstalling our operating systems.

Media Player Classic still rules. Feature-rich with zero bullshit.

I've been using PotPlayer for a few years now, didn't even know MPC was still around
