QCTools is a handy tool for analyzing the quality of a video through filtering and audiovisual analytics. It is also useful for conversion program and video codecs comparison.

You can visually analyze a video through multiple filters which include Histogram, Waveform, Waveform Target, Line Select, Vectorscope, Vectorscope Target, Extract Planes Equalized, Extract Planes UV Equalized, Saturation Highlight, and more. These filters allow you to easily recognize any inconsistencies within the playback at the frame level making it much easier to spot them.

QCTools supports drag n' drop - as soon as the selected video is placed it immediately begins to process it. Once processing is concluded it will provide you with various technical measurement data including TOUTav, TOUTc, Uav, Vav, Yav, Yrang, SATb, SATi, BRNGav, BRNGc, and MSEfy. The playback window includes two viewing options which you may be set to different combinations of filters.
