What's new in VQ Probe v3.1

VP9 support

New metric: APSNR

We have added a new metric to VQ Probe: APSNR. This is an aggregate metric - MSE is calculated over all frames in a stream to get a single PSNR value.

We have also added a small preview plot that can be used for navigation. Expand Metrics View vertically to make it appear.

New CLI features

We have added several new options to the CLI version of VQ Probe:

  • --siti: calculate SI/TI
  • --trim: set the Start/End frame numbers of an added file
  • --buffer-info: extract stream buffer level information as JSON and export it
