So I've been using MPC-HC with codecs for viewing my anime, as per recommendations from /a/ wiki. It was great for the past year or so, then just in the last month, It started "lagging". only in Fullscreen (or when the window is expanded to full size) motion is choppy, and skips, it's hard to explain. when It's in the default window size, it moves fine, and even weirder, I dled VLC to test it, and it works fine in full screen. I know MPC codecs are old, so I downloaded a newer version, and I've updated drivers, etc. A week ago It had an even weirder problem where sound would take 3 seconds to sync with the video, which would freeze after the 3 seconds to for the audio caught up. I fixed that by allowing all drivers to run on startup and now i'm not sure if that's related to the current problem.

What "codecs" are you using? You should know KCP is obsolete and CCCP uses old versions of everything too. You don't need codec packs to watch anime with MPC-HC anymore, you haven't for like 4 years. Stuff like LAV filters are standard in MPC-HC now.
The only plugins you should be using are MadVR + Xy-subfilter, and even those aren't strictly necessary to watch anime. They just give it a noticeable quality boost.
My advice would be just completely uninstall MPC-HC and do a fresh 32 bit installation and get MadVR + Xy-subfilter. It's also much easier to install these plug ins these days than it used to be, requires virtually no configuration unless you want to monkey with settings.

Isn't everything H.264-encoded nowadays anyway? I can't think of any anime scene who would dare to release their encodes in anything else than H.264.
So you don't really need codecS, you just need one of them...
And for audio it's AAC, AC3, or DTS, again I don't think other codecs are used for audio tracks nowadays.
But anyway like the other anon has said all of that is provided by libav or FFMpeg, whatever framework is provided by the particular codec pack you're using at the moment.
Plus the problem you describe doesn't look like an outdated codec issue (things would play or not play at all, if that was the case), more like a bug in the player or a hardware resources issue (esp. the bit with the desynchro).

codecs and other shit are not needed anymore.
also ditch mpc its old and crufty. go with mpv
https://mpv.io/

lol you still need codecs to decode video and audio streams, and always will
If using mpv or its parent mplayer then you're using those provided by the FFmpeg project (libavcodec and libavformat) and it doesn't get better than those - they're the benchmark

this, mpv is the most minimal player (as far as i'm aware)

No, it's all in High-10 profile, which is technically part of the h.264 spec, but isn't a proper profile like High Profile, and isn't supported by anything.
Try copying your "standard" h.264 scene-animu to your phone, or your tablet, or your console, or your TV, and see how well it plays.
Ostensibly hi10p makes it prettier, but really it's just to make the sekrit club incompatible with normie stuff.
