People talking about the intelligence of others often lack the intelligence 
to think about themselves.

OK, I should have known that you would bring a lame excuse why you are 
unable to compare the quality of the videos.

You can't wget "GMC", too, but it seems you have nearly endless time to 
flame about it.

What are you speaking about?
Some days ago I have written: "I took a random video (with much panning) and 
surprise, surprise, GMC improved psnr nearly 0.1 dB. If you want to use a 
better metric or doubleblind viewing tests, I can send you the original 
video and both encoded versions. Where should I send them?"
I have uploaded them to 
http://service.gmx.net/mc/jFLZHaDQO6qFlpCxP4XDPJw5WOTrwX, you can do 
whatever you want, but you don't have to encode anything. Get some sleep.
