didn't even know this existed
There's been some later beta builds of MPC showing up, but I didn't even have an idea this other project branched off. Cool find!

Do the codecs come
Do the codecs come preinstalled or do you need to install them seperately? I'm assuming with the filesize that they need to be installed seperately...
according to the docs
According to the documentation, there's _SOME_ codecs embedded internally, though they aren't all there. AC3 and some others are separate.
If this is really based on gabest's MPC, then it will be able to play most video files without any external codecs. I haven't tested it yet.

You still have to redirect
You still have to redirect Media Player Classic folder located at the appdir directory man and it still leaves a registry key located at hkey_current_user/software/Gabest

your code doesn't allow for existing registry keys. I suggest you add the registry functions in the code. possibly backup the registry key during launch and then end of launch restore that key.

There is a problem with the language setting.
If I choose german it is fine until I restart the programm, because then it is in english again.
If I start MPC by using the original .exe then this doesn't happen.

Just tried this. Couple comments.
1. When you point at the app in the PortableApps.com Platform, it says it's version 0.1.1. Is this intentional?
2. The name of the program is Media Player Classic Home Cinema. It is not a derivative of MPlayer, so it shouldn't be called MPlayer Classic. That is misleading, and wholly incorrect.
3. When playing a video (Season 4, Episode 1 of LOST, to be specific) I was getting a neon green bar of artifacts along the very bottom, and greenish splotches around the screen. I was using the default renderer, as well as VMR7 and VMR9 for subtitles support. VLC plays the video fine. Can this work with ffdshow portably? If so, in which folder should I put it? Audacity (1.3.7 beta) has a link in its prefs to get ffdshow for its uses; I would do this and then copy the relevant file(s) to the MPCHC folder, wherever it needs to go.
4. Are all those (10.3MB worth of) DLLs language files, and if so, can they be removed if one only wants to use the app in English, or are they required. (Not hurting for space, just wondering.)
Otherwise, awesome, I've been using this media player for years. I'll stick with VLC for the LOST episodes (and deal with the loading time) but I should note that MPCHC Portable starts almost instantly. Very cool.

Oh, OK. What the project is called is really of no consequence to me, I just thought it was a mistake. If the shorter name works better, that's cool. It's just Media Player Classic on the menu and the desktop shortcut (at home) is just MPC.
I started using Media Player Classic (pre-Home Cinema) because it came with the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, perhaps the most complete codec pack out there. It includes ffdshow, and MPC uses it. Pretty sure that's what MPC uses when it plays Divx/Xvid video, though I don't know how to check.
Oh yeah, I forgot. Isn't there an EQ in MPC, or am I thinking of something else? I know VLC has one, and it's become very valuable lately. If I could get MPC playing videos correctly, with subtitles, and the EQ, I might just have to make MPC my primary media player, so many thanks again for making it portable.
PS - the K-Lite Codec Pack also includes a tool called Gspot, not sure why they picked the name (other than to be cute), but this thing will tell you everything you could want to know about a media file, and then some, and then some more on top of that. If you're into the source of MPC, it would be a great helper app to run from a menu, and pass the currently playing file to it. Especially when codecs work different portably (right?).
