How to ensure that two clips have identical information: Decode each 
frame to uncompressed pictures and calculate a md5sum. MPlayer has a 
video output driver, which calculates the md5 sums of the frams.
See mplayer -vo help

For showing the differnce between two clips i would suggest to look into 
the avisynth frame server, e.g
