You know, that would have been exactly the next thing I'd have tackled myself when I had some time for it...
I've found that Decomb's Decimate using mode=2 just drops the first frame of a row of duplicates, whereas dropping the frame with the lowest metric would probably avoid errors in cases where erroneous duplicates were found - after all, if it's all duplicates, you can choose any of those and drop it.
I'd really love to have a Decimation filter that can blend 30FPS or 60FPS material down to 24FPS, as my standalone player can't cope with VFR material. Currently, I'm doing those blend-downs by hand if it's just the opening or ending, but doing it that way for every scene is overkill.
