MPC Problems
So apparently I gave in to the logic that MPC > VLC and I should install it instead.
After installing it and using it I realised it has a couple of annoying problems.
1. It automatically goes to fullscreen.
2. No options pop up such as the tracker bar which allows you to skip certain parts, an X button or minimize button (have to Alt+F4 out) and the options are inaccessible.
3. Installed CCCP and it plays almost no differently than VLC, except for the fact that when VLC finishes a video that it hangs out in the back processes and refuses to open until you TaskMgr it into shutting down, then again this is the reason I wanted to switch.

2. Um... yes there is all that stuff? Mouse over the bottom part of a video while it's in full screen. Or, if it's not, then that stuff should be there already. Though, there's no minimize or close button when you're in fullscreen. But you can just double-click to switch between windowed and fullscreen anyway. Oh, and right-click brings up all the options.
3. MPC is better at displaying subtitles, and doesn't break when you're watching a Matroska video that uses ordered chapters. And other differences, but those are the two that I see people mention most often.
On the other hand, MPC takes control of my volume hotkeys, to change its own program volume rather than the overall system volume.
2. The menus don't pop up at the bottom when I mouse over. Double click only pauses the video and plays it again. Right click doesn't bring anything up.
3. Ordered chapters?
And ordered chapters are when a video uses a different file as a chapter. It's usually used for things like anime OPs and EDs, where it's the same every episode, to reduce the total file size of a series.
In the Playback part, I went to fullscreen and here's this.
Well, actually, the other thing that annoys me is that the controls bar is at the bottom of the screen. If I have a two-screen setup with my big screen on top of my little but main screen, then it takes some very fast fingerwork (or using Ctrl+Enter) to fullscreen something on one screen but return the cursor onto the other.
^ Oh, there's a setting for that? *goes to check*
Are these the things I should change?
This is why I use KMPlayer.
