I often watch game videos and will check to see if the video is available in 60FPS before I download it. This is what the print typically looks something like this.

I'd like another column for FPS so it's easier to spot, but I also think getting rid of 1080p, 720p, hd720, etc. in the note would be a good idea because the resolution is already printed.

It'd look something like this. I'm going to switch some lines to be 60FPS just as an example.

FPS is only available to very few extractors (~15 out of ~900) so FPS will be an empty column most of the time. Needless to say it may break clients that rely on the current format. Thus I don't see much sense in such change.
