mrv2 and vmrv2 are open source professional players and review tools for VFX, animation and computer graphics for Windows, Linux and macOS. You can build them from source or download prebuilt binaries.
Binaries are available for multiple operating systems and CPU architectures. Be sure to download the correct one for your system, and check all release assets—GitHub often hides part of the list.
If you're unsure which download you need, use:

ChangeLog
- Bug/Core: Fix a potential race (crash) condition in FFmpeg's log callback.
-
UI/Core: Added to Settings->Performance a pulldown select the HW driver.
-
UI/Vulkan/Windows: Fixed Windows' annoying cursor bug that would show a "ghosted" square when showing alpha or high value images.
-
Vulkan: Improved performance of movies with changing HDR metadata and destroying textures.
- Vulkan: Fixed validation error when OCIO and libplacebo were used together.
- Vulkan: Fixed one validation error when saving and no tonemapping.
-
Vulkan/Linux: Added HW decoding under Vulkan on both backends. Allows HW decoding of prores, h264, hevc, av1, and vpx. Note that performance is wildly dependant on the graphics card.
-
HDR: Added Saving of HDR movies with stream metadata.
-
HDR: Added Saving of HDR movies with frame metadata (HDR10+). Tested using VP9 and a .mkv container. Well done FFmpeg 9.0.1 and VPX!
-
Linux: Fixed a random crash when reloading the file requester.
-
Core: Fixed an infringing file on the BSD-3 license (mrvSlider.cpp).
-
Build: Made all temporary build directories to be in $BUILD_DIR/deps.
-
Libraries: Updated libvpx to v1.16.0, with aarch64 and Neon assembler optimizations. Also added runtime-cpu-detection. This improves 8K playback to 45-50FPS on my old NVidia 3080 RTX. Well done, Google!
- Libraries: Updated libdav1d to v1.5.4.
- Libraries: Updated Svt-AV1 to v4.2.0.
