Just as a note. You can see the file size on the Delete Recordings screen
Also, the program details you get from the U key includes the filesize. On my machine mpeg2 recordings are 2 gigs per hour and mpeg4 ones are a third of that so I can guess the format from the filesize.
I took a quick look at the code, possibly too quick, and it seems that all the info displayed in the program details dialog comes from the ProgramInfo class. It gets all its information from the database and recording type isn't currently stored there so it would have to be added which sounds like a major minor change (eg, small changes in many places). Alternatively, the recording file itself could be examined but since every other bit of data supplied by ProgramInfo comes from the database hitting the filesystem might be an architectural no no. For one thing if the frontend uses that class it would have to have access to the recordings directory which is optional right now.
But, I'm speculating way too much from one quick look at the code. I'd use the U key!
