Could you build this?

Partial A GUI wrapper can be vibe-coded, but computing video quality metrics like VMAF, PSNR, and SSIM across large video encodes requires deep integration with native FFmpeg libraries and hardware-accelerated decoding.

What it would actually take: The app needs a C#/.NET or Tauri/C++ desktop framework wrapping FFmpeg or libvmaf to decode frame-by-frame video streams in lockstep. The hard part is managing high-throughput frame decoding, color space conversions, temporal synchronization, and GPU acceleration without memory leaks or prohibitive processing times.
