mrViewer has a new version up for downloading. This version adds options for caching (or not caching) frames of sequences. We are looking for some feedback with this version. What works, what doesn't, what could be improved. Please fill up requests in the Bugs and New Features forums.

v2.6.6.1 - Reworked the Preferences->Cache options to allow sequences:
* Not using any cache for streaming sequences directly from
disk. The performance of this is extremely dependent on the
images being loaded (in summary, not very good).
* 8 bit caches to save RAM at the expense of baking the
gamma in.
* Scale to proxy images (one half, one quarter or one eighth
of the original size) also to save RAM.... read more

I am pleased to announce the release of v2.6.5.6 of the professional viewer and flipbook player for video and audio.
This release fixes the zlib1.dll file on windows 32bits and should allow that version to load all types of exr files without crashing.
In addition to that, the timeline has added preloading for all images in the reel while idle.

The binaries are found at:
