Sorry, I had a previous link to a site no longer hosted where it was, and
I just followed the trail till this page.

Indeed, those sequences aren't really made for RC tests, but rather motion
estimation, mesh animation and the like. I think the Paris sequence is
longer but nowhere near something offering a wide range of bitrate. This
is probably due to research on RC being focused on achieving CBR. I can't
recall any test (H.263's TMN8 RC for instance) using other sequences than
the typical stefan/akiko/claire/coastguard/... ones.

So I do think you'd better use your own sequences if you plan to test RC.

Good luck,
