xvidtune -help lists an option '-timeout [seconds]', which suggests to
me a somewhat non-interactive mode.  However, trying this option gives a
syntax error (shame), and the output on console doesn't seem to include
what you need anyways.  Never having seen anything else that's similar
to xvidtune, I suspect the best option is to grab the xvidtune source
and hack it to do what you need.
