Documentation

Overview

fullvalidate scores a finished Reel encode against its source with full-chunk CVVDP, giving ground-truth per-chunk JOD instead of the recorded scores the target-quality search reports about itself.

Usage: fullvalidate <source.mkv> <workdir>

The workdir is a kept .reel-* directory from the encode (--keep-workdir). Each chunk is scored from its standalone encode/NNNN.ivf (read from frame 0, no seek). Those per-chunk IVFs losslessly concatenate into the final muxed output, so this measures the same bits as the final file but avoids seeking into a muxed AV1, which mis-aligns frames and reports spurious low scores.
