CBR vs. VBR indication

[hsei]

I support getting as much information as feasible. In this case the duplicates differ mainly by size. It would be helpful to have at least an indication (e.g. background colour) of great deviations. Primary task of similarity is to identify almost identical files. Ranking duplicates with same content and different quality in a second step is a non-trivial task. Comparing bitrate, size etc. is not always reliable especially for reencoded material.

What ever gets done for CBR vs VBR should also include some indication that a file was encoded in a loss less manor.  Think about .wma files -- it's most difficult to tell what the encode was thinking when it did its job.

We add some information from decoders in future.
