A taxonomy of video "quality," or: was Strobe right or wrong about quality?
summary
Defines a clear taxonomy of what people mean by “video quality,” distinguishing terms such as QoE (user experience), QoS (streaming/network metrics), perceptual quality, fidelity, and encoding efficiency. Uses concrete examples like codecs (AV1) and metrics (VMAF) to explain how they relate to those categories and shows how to apply the schema to avoid conflating concepts. Concludes by assessing the claim from Demuxed 2018 that “video quality doesn’t matter” and stating where that claim is right or wrong according to the taxonomy.
