Description

https://github.com/Igalia/soothe

Soothe is a testing framework written in Python for encoder quality. It's a command line interface application that runs a number of test suites with the supported encoders. Its purpose is to compare different encoder implementations and configurations. It uses VMAF binary to measure the transcoded videos.
