Streaming Learning Center Where Streaming Professionals Learn to Excel

A colleague asked for some resources relating to VMAF. Rather than answer in an email I thought I would create a post around it. Some of these are from Netflix, most from me (Jan Ozer). I’ve broken the items into three groups; Computing VMAF, Using VMAF, and About VMAF.
I hope you find this collection useful.
