Sure. Anything that's publicly available and has an appropriate license.

I like Tears of Steel as something that's reasonably short that has a variety of appropriate characteristics. Live action, CGI, film grain, motion graphics in credits.

Any test is going to be somewhat arbitrary and focused on a particular scenario. The one here is very much about encoder features at least as much as bitstreams. It stresses psychovisual tuning and rate control, and ignores encoding performance.

An obvious followup test would be 1-pass CBR with fixed 2 second Closed GOP.

Something incorporating quality @ perf would be interesting, but it's way harder to compare and verify performance.
