Does VMAF scores even really matter?
In OBS I encoded a source file in av1 on my arc card with an ICQ of 1 for as much quality preservation as possible. Then I went to handbrake. and re-encoded the same file in hand break with a much more sensible ICQ of 23. Putting the files into FFMetrics and running it through VMAF for about 30 seconds. VMAF is telling me that the ICQ 23 clip has a score of 75.0015. which I would assume that I should probably easily be able to see something is up with the pics without needing to pixel peep really. But I couldnt tell much of a difference at all. and only when I took screenshots and looked back and forth over and over again multiple times looking to try and find any differences. I can hardly tell that maybe the grass was just ever so slightly better on the ICQ 1 than the ICQ 23 video.
How could something that looks so close to being the best that it can be. look to what should be the best quality it can be. have such a drastically lower score? Is VMAF flawed or is how I am testing this inheriantly flawed or is it working about right?
1st and 3rd is ICQ 1 and 2nd and 4th is ICQ 23
