Add a "VBitrate Exceeds" attribute for use with "Match"

[Former user]

Some devices like Samsung D series TV's will not play some codec over a certain bit rate. Using the maxVBitrate="xxxx" parameter on transcoding will cause all matching codecs to transcode even if they have a lower bitrate and will play natively. This attribute will allow only those files exceeding the bitrate to be transcoded.

I doubt this will be added as FFmpeg's detection of bitrate is sometimes very unreliable and we would end up with transcoding files that normally play well

Petr, this attribute will allow us to stop " transcoding files that normally play well"

Currently I must transcode ALL files of a type to reduce high bit rates even if the file's bit rate is currently below the limit and would normally play well. That's what this enhancement would stop.

I use Mediainfo_cli.exe to get all my file info and "MediaInfo_CLI\MediaInfo.exe" --Inform=Video;%BitRate% "filename" will return the correct video bit rate in bytes, and avoid the ffmpeg -i error.

If you are not familiar with Mediainfo_CLI then the attached document that I prepared for the author (Zen) who actively supports Mediainfo, may be of value. You can retreive almost anything from any a/v file.

I hope that you will reconsider this enhancement.

I will not integrate with MediaInfo from various reasons, mostly because it's another external dependency. Please don't change status of tickets once I close them, you can still comment on them of course.
