A method for determining spatial and temporal loss in a packet based video broadcast system in an encrypted environment involves measuring video coding layer information at an unencrypted head end of a video stream and network layer information at an encrypted downstream end of the same video stream. Video coding layer information is correlated with network layer information having a corresponding time stamp to compute the spatial and temporal loss. The video coding layer and network layer information is taken from discrete segments of the video stream including access units, slices or macroblocks. Impairments in the video stream are determined using the computed spatial and temporal loss.
