<div dir="ltr">Dear x265 development team,<div><br></div><div>I am trying to conduct the following experiment: assess the change in the compressed video's quality by changing only the 8-point DCT matrix, which I suppose is <font color="#000000" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">the constant '<span style="line-height:16.799999237060547px">g_t8'</span></font> at source/Lib/TLibCommon/TComRom.cpp</div>
<div><br></div><div>However, the video's quality, which I am monitoring by the PSNR and SSIM metrics, keeps the same with any random matrix that I define in <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">'</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:16.799999237060547px">g_t8'. I am using the last version of x265 as of today.</span></div>
