Perhaps mplayer (or any other tool writing YUV video data) and dump_psnr 
(example program of libtheora, 
http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/theora/examples/dump_psnr.c) would work:

"mplayer -vo yuv4mpeg my-video-file" will dump the decoded stream to 
stream.yuv.

If "dump_psnr original.yuv ljpeg.yuv" gives an infinite score your most 
likely rather lossless ;-)
