Use a measurement device and show it in the video.

Like the 1000fps camera used in https://danluu.com/input-lag/

Where this would be really transformative is if anyone could submit a video and have it verified. If they set up their own slo-mo capture they could just as easily record a sped-up screen capture.

There's definitely a way out by requiring that the tests are reproducible in a 'lab', but that throws out results from machines the lab doesn't have access to
