Yes. I share the share hope as you do. The default should be a metric that
reflects actual human perception of a video. As far as I understand the
current status for now, PSNR and SSIM is the metric that libaom is by
default compiled with. Other metrics are being added support. For example,
VMAF and other metrics are also supported now as you can find them in
https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom/+/refs/heads/master/aom/aomcx.h. I
added those two metrics trying to be conservative here because I don't know
if some require special configs.

different metrics. I personally do not know if there is a perfect visual
quality metric for now. I will continue to add more options to ffmpeg if I
can make sure those metrics can be used in ffmpeg command-line easily.
