They measured video quality subjectively. I don't think you can just take the researchers at their word that it "looked good enough". Any rigorous video quality test would use at least some kind of objective numeric measurement.

Which is generally misleading as human attention focus's on a golfball size area of the screen at any moment, and codecs take advantage of this. So you might get a higher numeric score for a much poorer subjective experience.
