I'm rendering a video clip with different presets, one if H.264 and another one is H.265. If I pick a frame from each outputs at the same time code, do you know any algorithm that can calculate the loss of the outputs from source?
Yes, there are several algorithms to measure video quality loss between your source and encoded outputs. Here are the most common ones:
PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio)
- Most widely used
- Measures pixel-level differences
- Higher values = better quality
