This study examines the perceived audiovisual quality of low-bitrate multimedia content for mobile video applications. The research involves testing with six audiovisual source clips at QCIF resolution and ~8-second duration, using H.264 and other codecs, different frame rates, and audio configurations. The subjective assessment method used is Absolute Category Rating (ACR) with viewers rating quality on a discrete scale of 0-10 in three test parts. Data collected from 24 non-expert viewers provide insights into the perceived quality of the multimedia content.
