Body: <p>I was wondering if anyone knows from where I could get a few (short) video  assets in high bitrate to check the quality output of a transcoder.</p>
  
  <p>Some context: A few years ago I was working on a VOD project and the person who was configuring the transcoders had a set of 4 videos that really pushed the transcoder (e.g. very clear water ripples, a few bees on top of a yellow flower... and I cannot recall the other 2). I remember this person telling me that he had picked those videos as they pushed different aspects of transcoders, so I was wondering if there's something out there I could reuse.</p>
  
  <h2>edit</h2>
  
  <p>I haven't found so far a good set of free videos to push the transcoder, but I have found the following sources.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://4kmedia.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">4k media</a>: Has quite a few free high bitrate 4k (30-60 fps) videos.   </li>

  I haven't found so far a good set of free videos to push the transcoder, but I have found the following sources.
  
  * [4k media](https://4kmedia.org/): Has quite a few free high bitrate 4k (30-60 fps) videos.

  Here are a few resources I'm aware of.
  
  * The [Video Quality Experts Group](https://www.its.bldrdoc.gov/vqeg/downloads.aspx) has a variety of test material available.
  * [Big Buck Bunny](https://peach.blender.org/), with a CC license, is often used as a test asset.
  * [Tektronix](https://www.tek.com/picture-quality-analyzer) at least used sell some test assets to complement their monitoring tools.
  * [SRI](https://www.sri.com/engage/products-solutions/sarnoff-video-test-tools) has several test patterns and compliance checking assets for sale.
