A simple, yet effective tool to quickly compare one or more videos using VMAF.

positional arguments:
  Path                  One or more paths to a distorted file or a directory containing distorted files.

optional arguments:
  --help                show this help message and exit
  --hide_banner         Hide license banner.
  -q, --quiet           Be quiet.
  -v, --verbose         Be verbose.
  --ffmpeg FFMPEG       Path to the FFmpeg binary to use.
  --ffprobe FFPROBE     Path to the FFprobe binary to use.
  --vmaf VMAF           Path to the VMAF binary to use. Will fall back to FFmpeg if not provided
  -r REFERENCE, --reference REFERENCE
                        Reference file
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        The file name, including formatters, for the output log file.
  --flip                Scale, convert and resample to distorted file instead of reference file.
  -cs COLOR_SPACE, --color_space COLOR_SPACE
                        Define the color space of the reference file.
  -cp COLOR_PRIMARIES, --color_primaries COLOR_PRIMARIES
                        Define the color primaries of the reference file.
  -ct COLOR_TRC, --color_trc COLOR_TRC
                        Define the color transfer characteristics of the reference file.
  -cr COLOR_RANGE, --color_range COLOR_RANGE
                        Define the color range of the reference file.
  -p FORMAT, --format FORMAT
                        Define the format for comparison.
  -w WIDTH, --width WIDTH
                        Define the width for the comparision.
  -h HEIGHT, --height HEIGHT
                        Define the height for the comparision.

Installing

npm install
npm run build

Examples

Compare all files in a directory

$(prog) --ffmpeg ffmpeg --ffprobe ffprobe -r /mnt/usb0/ref.mp4 /mnt/usb1/

Use the distorted files as the target size

The following command converts the reference to the same format, resolution, framerate and color as the distorted files. Ideal for bitrate optimization.

$(prog) --ffmpeg ffmpeg --ffprobe ffprobe --flip -r /mnt/usb0/ref.mp4 /mnt/usb1/

Resize everything to 1080p and convert to yuv420p

$(prog) --ffmpeg ffmpeg --ffprobe ffprobe -h 1080 -p yuv420p -r /mnt/usb0/ref.mp4 /mnt/usb1/
