UPDATE 07/25/14 9:00 pm PDT:
Version 1.0.1: Fix of a bug and usage of OpenGL 2.1 instead of 3.3 for being more compatible with various graphics cards and drivers. Before this update the application may have been crashing on some systems running Windows. I’m sorry for this inconvenience!

UPDATE 07/26/14 7:38 am PDT:
Version 1.1: More robust video playback.

UPDATE 08/03/14 9:30 am PDT:

UPDATE 08/03/14 1:23 pm PDT:
