This sounds very exciting. A windows based all in one ripper called 'gordian knot' has had a 'quality test' feature for a while.
I wonder if its a possibility with this tool? what it does is encode a short duration of the film and analyse its 'compressability' rate, so it tells you if your wasting bits in the compression and you could get a smilar quality with larger reslotution or less bits.. pretty cool but i bets its not easy to replicate..
