  • VMAF is confusing me

    Have you seen ffmpeg-quality-metrics? I went with the docker option. I figured that would keep it simple with ffmpeg versions/whatever.
  • Should I recompress video I shot with mobile?

    You can at least test the quality difference between two encodes with something like ffmpeg-quality-metrics. If it has a high VMAF score and saved a bunch of space for something that doesn't need to be perfect, then I consider it fine.
  • did I fail at preserving dvds? mpeg2 vs h264 vs av1

    ffmpeg-quality-metrics is nice for comparing quality between copies. Better than squinting at pixels IMO.

    It's working. I found this [model](https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-quality-metrics/blob/master/ffmpeg_quality_metrics/vmaf_models/vmaf_v0.6.1neg.json) with the help of u/Felixkruemel and I specified the vmaf path in av1an using `--vmaf-path=path to the/vmaf/model.json"`

  • How to examine video quality?
    3 projects | /r/PleX | 2 Jun 2022
    Then, after the encode, if you want to compare original vs encoded quality there's ffmpeg-quality-metrics which makes it easy to get VMAF & SSIM scores between the two.
  • Quality loss when you encode

    ffmpeg-quality-metrics is neat IMO, it lets you get VMAF and SSIM scores easily.
  • transcoding to optimize occupied pace
    2 projects | /r/ffmpeg | 20 Apr 2022
    Regarding the quality difference, I like ffmpeg-quality-metrics for an easy VMAF and SSIM comparison. Here's the h264 encoding guide in the wiki, which explains the crf and presets, etc.
  • H264 -preset and -crf benchmarking results ( and why use should always use VERYFAST)

    If you do start checking VMAF the ffmpeg-quality-metrics tool is handy.
  • Variable Bitrate Formats are Cool

    This directory has a short video I took with my Nikon DSLR along with two encodes of that video and the VMAF/SSIM scores from ffmpeg-quality-metrics. (the av1 video is mislabeled, it's actually av1 with CRF 28 like the vmaf/ssim file says) I know people hate the 'e' word, but if I were encoding something with bandwidth in mind I'd probably be fine using AV1, except not everything supports it. I've been told Edge isn't AV1 friendly, for example.
