I can imagine a theoretical solution would be to analyse every frame of a video using these monitors, to come up with an 'overall' graph, but I've no guesses how to accomplish that.

But then again, what would that achieve? I mean with a photo you can use it to correct it, but with a video theres no way around looking at individual scenes and frames ...

<p>How Can we measure each of these Parameters for 2 videos ? and the reason behind it is to make a comparison ?</p>

Is it acceptable to split the video into frames and then compute these values for each? As a programmer, I would say that's totally doable.
