MXI double in size MR 3.2.1.4

I am rendering over the network and I recently bought a new computer and installed MR. I didn't see that MR 3.2.1.4 was out so I had a computer rendering with 3.2.1.2 and one with 3.2.1.4. I noticed that the MXI's doubled in size. Why is this? Because they were 500 Mb in size and now are over 1gb per MXI. Doing an animation of over a 1000 frames with such file sizes is not preferable at all.

there are some rather fundamental problems with 3.2.1.4 that are not fixed yet.
it's beta!
I reverted to 3.2.1.2

Then something went wrong with testing if it's available via Customer Portal :? (v 3.2.1.4)

Bugs in 3.2.1.4 so far:
- resume MXIs doesn't work
- double sized MXI

What else did you found ?

you are right.

I did not check the portal but followed the threads in the forum and only downloaded from the beta page.

But 3.2.1.4 is in deed available at the customer portal :|

I've also had serious problems with opening MXI's in Photoshop and After Effects. I will most probably have to re-render all of my frames. I reverted to 3.2.1.2 but that did not help, even newly rendered frames I cannot open in PS of AE.

I've contacted costumer support but they don't have a fix.

Don't install 3.2.1.4! I am VERY disappointed with this! :evil:

Since I upgraded to MR 3 I've come across more bugs then there ever were in 2.7.

I really should make a list with everything that is not working or is slower or whatever. I don't know what is going on at Next Limit but it seems to me they are pouring all of their efforts into marketing rather then development. :?
