MSU Video Quality Measurement Tool

Version 0.75 released! (Improved codecs support (x264), data from YUV-AVI files is extracted without convertion, bugfixing(VQM, RGB metrics for YUV-files)).

Metric supports different input formats (AVI, AVS, YUV, BMP) and metrics (PSNR, Delta, VQM, SSIM, MSU Blurring/Blocking Measure). Main features: results are saved in *.CSV (can be opened everywhere), all metrics are visualized, comparative analysis (comparison of three files: original, and two other, for example processed by different codecs).

Program allow to answer on questions:
1) One codec has more bluring than another. On what frames? Average mark?
2) One codec has more blocking than another. On what frames? Average mark?
3) One codec has more lower quality than another. On what frames? Average mark in PSNR, VQM, SSIM?

Correspondent "bad frames" are saved automatically into BMP files.
