Zond 4.1 now supports the Netflix's Video Multi-method Assessment Fusion (VMAF) metric for quality estimation. The software leverages VMAF to compare an original YUV file with a preloaded video file. Correlating with human perception, this metric enables more precise video assessment after compression. Since relying on manual visual testing at all times proves unrealistic, VMAF attempts to address the issue by utilizing samples from Netflix content to help design and validate the algorithms.
The latest Zond edition comes on the heels of a major update β version 4 β that greatly expanded the productβs compatibility matrix. The novelties of Zond 265 v4 encompassed
AOMedia Video 1 (AV1) codec support in WebM format
