The barebones command:

     ffmpeg -i main -i ref -lavfi ssim -f null -

framehash will be sensitive to data layout, so that comparing the same 
payload in planar vs packed format will yield different values. As the 
SSIM filter only works with planar formats, avfilter will take care of 
conversion, if needed, of both inputs.

Other than that, SSIM will present a rough measure of the shortfall if 
the transcode isn't lossless. A framehash is either a match or not.
