Hi Guys

I have been using MPC from the past 7-8 years now. I never had any problem. Few minutes ago i was trying to turn off the subtitles of a .mkv movie which were hardcoded. Unfortunately i messed up with the settings and now i am getting bolder, bigger subtitles over the actual subtitles in every video. You can see that the green tick mark subtitles are the one's which i want and the red crossed one's are uncalled for. How to turn them off?

I am using media player classic 1.3.2189.0 From where can i download the same version's installer file?

Thanks for replying guys. I tweaked with the settings again and the problem seems to be solved. I need that ancient version's installer file. Any help where can i find it?

Why do you want that old Setup, why don't you use the updated version of that software.
If you want old software then FileHippo also stores old setups also.

OP needs old version seems like that version is stable...but latest version will give more improved performance & bug fixes.

regarding subtitles u can change its font size through Menu option (by default font size:18 & font: Arial)

IMO all the versions of MPC are stable enough.

I want that same version because i have been using it for years and it does the job for me. No, that version is not available on FileHippo.

simply save the program file folder of your current old mpc-hc install then download & install the oldest mpc-hc you can find & copy & replace the files from your older install into new install program file folder.

you can download older mpc-hc versions here:
Media Player Classic - Home Cinema - Browse /MPC HomeCinema - Win32 at SourceForge.net
your version is not a stable release so above link has an older version & newer version but not your exact version.

found this which has the mpc-hc v1.3.2189.0 you are looking for.simply select advanced install & select only this(deselect all other options) to install.

MPC is a fantastic player....but u can also try Potplayer as sometimes broken video files are not playable in MPC then potplayer does the job

Thank you so much for the advice and for the link but unfortunately that link has an older version than the one that i am using currently, well this is what the installer file said. Do you know the K-litecodec version that i installed for MPC-HC 1.3.2189.0
