Comparing multiple videos

Is there a (fast) way to compare different videos files, in order to find identical sequences, without comparing 2 videos frame by frame?

Or is the build-a-hash-of-each-frame-and-compare-it-with-other-hashs-way the only possible solution?

The fisrt step is to compare metadata. If the aspect ratio and the length of the video are very different, there is no need to run a heavy process to conclude that the videos are different.

Then, you may build a kind of hash from existing, rapid functions ( in ffmpeg I guess) I think of comparing the scene-change timestamps. (result from a "Scene Change Detection Algorithm"

you can process each file, until difference > epsilon . You have to define and compute 'difference' (delta in change number ? in timestamps delay ?...) and epsilon...

My answer is not very clear, but It one way I can think of. Yet, I hope it helps...
