Does anyone here know more features that MPV offers that VLC and MPC don't, considering they are all free and open-source?

Like anothers comments said, mpv has some awesome native hw decoding and you can play frame by frame, previous and next, vlc you can only do next [1] (awesome thread btw). :) And mpc/mpc-hc is discontinued [2].

mpc-hc is not discontinued.

Plus there is also mpc-be which is actively developed and pretty much the same.
