Hi Michael,

thanks for replying!

I guess I'd be really glad if you can elaborate on this point. For DV,
at least, if there's no quantization involved than decoding is a 100%
inverse of the encoding weighting. If there's quantization things can
get a little bit less straightforward, but still.

tiny_psnr assumes that there's an image. What would your recommend? 
workman? rotozoom? something else?

Thanks,
Roman.
