x264's PSNR calculation

[ramprasad85]

Hi All
I am using "x264 core:65 r1065 0e1a92c"


E:\copied\std_yuv_files\vga>x264 -B 512 --dump-yuv raw_dump.yuv -o raw.264 raw.yuv 640x480 --progress

Using the [I]MSU Video Quality Measurement Tool v 1.52
I calculated the PSNR values. and i got
Y=43.65441
U=46.07288
V=47.19964
AVG=(47.19964+ 46.07288+ 43.65441)/3=45.64231

Please tell me Which is the correct PSNR
:thanks:

Y psnr is the psnr of the luminosity, U and V psnr are the psnr of the chroma information.

The average should be the correct one :)

with your average qp it's x264 ... there are problem with MSU here.
