Several tools around to get the video from youtube in it's orignal form.
Do a google search on 'rip youtube'
a Matte is a key signal. Normally black and white.
A Difference matte is comparing two streams by subtracting each pixel's 
value.
If the pixels are the same, the result is of course pure black.
So it generates a stream where differences between the two streams is shown 
in a black and white image,
used for special effects, or, in this case, quality control.

Probably there is an Avisynth filter, but most NLE's / special fx packages 
have something like that.
(after effects for sure).
So it depends on the tools you have....
