Extreme Video Compression
Netflix did VMAF for this: https://github.com/Netflix/vmaf
It checks a reference video against an encoded video and returns a score representing how close the encoded video appears to the original from a human perspective.

Linux GUI/Frontend for VMAF
Not sure this is the right sub but I'm going to encode my entire BluRay collection in AV1 / NVEC. I'd like to optimize settings with VMAF but would like an ubuntu/debian based GUI to work with.

Does anybody run libvmaf on your output as a validation check?
VMAF for anybody that doesn't know quantifies the quality difference between a source and modified video.
- How do you guys visually compare clips?

reduce video filesize
Netflix even has a method to measure perceivable quality difference. A little while ago I used this tool to calculate this.
-
How did my silly little After Effects filter reduce the file to 10% its size? The footage wasn't raw or 10-bit or anything, and I rendered it out at basically the same resolution (cropping aside). How did I do this????
Well you can use something like https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo to look at the files and https://github.com/Netflix/vmaf to see if there is no loss.

4:2:0 10-bit HEVC vs 4:2:2 10-bit AVC codecs higher quality? (S5II, GH6)
You can try some tests https://github.com/Netflix/vmaf

Unusually good compression ratio - Sanity Check
You can try VMAF as well (which ffmpeg supports). It's normally recommended to make a lossless copy first as a baseline too

Need Help With My Code!
For the most part the metadata will only be useful if you download from an artist's official youtube channel. Thus you will still have to look over the metadata with mp3tag. You also need ffmpeg installed to have this command work as it involes converting codecs

Second, use https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp (or https://github.com/oleksis/youtube-dl-gui if you want a GUI), then download the latest n6.0 (non-shared) zip for your platform (e.g. win64) from https://github.com/yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds and extract the 3 executables from the bin folder to the same folder as your yt-dlp executable.

It should be fairly easy to set up on Fedora. Install (I put it in /opt and add it to path) yt-dlp/FFmpeg, then install (/opt + path) yt-dlp/yt-dlp. yt-dlp/FFmpeg should come with its required dependencies (don't quote me). YT-DLP comes with most dependencies bundled, except FFmpeg. AtomicParsley is the only other one I've installed.

I ran "pip install ffmpeg-python", what now?
Download an ffmpeg build for your system. https://github.com/yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds/releases Extract the contents of the "bin" folder within the downloaded file to somewhere convenient, like, C:\Path. I just created a folder named "Path" there because I can.
