I don't like the ini options because it's slower. With registry options you can back up your settings too. Just go to HKCU\Software\Gabest and back up the whole thing. As B.F. said MPC is useless without external codec not like mplayer or kmplayer and most of the included is useless for me anyway beside those used for DVD decoding. I don't care about the binary size but I just see those filters as "eyesore".
