Some files need to be fully parsed to find out more information, like Duration, Overall bit rate, audio bit rate.

Sample:
fools-the-north-wind.aac.zip

Full parsing disabled:

mediainfo_fast_parsing

Full parsing enabled (bit rate and duration now are shown):

mediainfo_full_parsing

For the UI and console, some message could be printed like: More information is available in "Full parsing" mode. Most people will try to find out more information by switching the view rather than enabling Full parsing (which is not enabled by default and not saved across sessions).

Difficulty is to know when to show this tip, it is not obvious for all cases. But for VBR AAC, it is easy, we'll see.

Show it only when more info will be available in Full parsing if not don't show it because would be confusing.

See again #908 (comment), if you know more than me how to code your "if", don't hesitate to send a patch.

Then display it always, at least in the UI. Console guys know how to handle flags.

Then display it always...

I cite you:

if not don't show it because would be confusing.

I agree with the idea to show a tip when it is (nearly) sure that it is useful, I have more doubts to always show it.

Anyway, it is to be decided when this request is first in the queue of non sponsored requests (don't expect it soon).
