Fora Soft Video Engineering Handbook
Keep this metric-report reviewer's checklist next to any quality report: it asks about the tool, VMAF model, pooling, confidence intervals, resolution and reference before you trust a number. The seven volumes we wrote cover the full video stack; start with Volume 1 on quality metrics, H.264, HEVC and AV1, then read Volume 3 on QoE monitoring and Volume 6 on AI models. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
