Video stream analyzers

I looked around for video stream analyzers and got a couple of trial versions to test. Here is a brief description:

Elecard StreamEye

An intuitive interface that lets you navigate and display the stream picture by picture while it determines the real bit rate and compares it to the header values. It will tell you the streams real peak bit rate and how it varies as well as frame data sizes. It gives you access to macroblock information and its file address as it is displayed on the corresponding image.

MTS4EA Tektronix Compressed video elementary stream analyzer.

A much more powerful tool that can help codec developers debug and optimize codec code. The learning curb is steep around their user interface as it offers lots of features .
It verifies stream compliance against standard. It gives you the ability to perform a differentiating analysis against a reference video. (.yuv file) and calculates PSNR, RMSE, MSE and other measurements. It gives you macroblock statistics. The video view selection may show you the hex code for a macroblock or a macroblock set. It includes a bit stream editor for debugging applications and a batch mode with logging capability. Their image inspector lets you view pixel data for individual macroblocks and separates them into their component channels for YUV or RGB images. They have a macroblock type overlay that lets you see, in color, if a macroblock is an intra 4x4 or inter type block. It also overlays the motion vectors as color coded arrows for B or P frames. It is capable of producing a bit usage histogram and give you buffer analysis.

Interra Vega-Media analyzers

I wasn’t able to get a trial version of this product so I can only paraphrase what they have on their website.
It supports H264, VC1, MPEG2, Audio and compares with other encoded streams. It has a YUV Dif utility to evaluate quality against an original video. It provides with syntax analysis tools and frame statistics for analysis of interpolation and prediction.
