I disagree. You won't notice the difference unless you zoom in. And because of factors like source video and choice of filters, the difference in quality is obvious enough. If this was a strict comparison of encodes from the same source, then maybe it would be warranted, but I don't think PNG is gonna do much for this project, except increasing the file size x10.
