Hi, I wonder, where can I find a good 1080p video-source for doing encoding-tests?
"Benwaggoner HEVC encoding challenge" linked video-sources to test encoders, but those video-sources are quite big and are not video-clips of totally different contents, SolLevante_SDRv2_1080p24_8bit.y4m is only 2D-animated content. But if there are no better alternatives than them, then I'll use them.
Also, what are the main things to watch for when doing video-encoder-comparisons? The things to look for that I can think of now are: general video-quality, quality dark scenes, low banding, low blocking, low aliasing, not all (non-noise)grain lost, picture-quality of hair.
Should I encode at the same bitrate that I plan to encode my real encodes (which is quite high bitrate, normally around CRF 18), or is it OK to use a lower bitrate to easier distinguish the video-quality of the encodes?
Thanks.
