It depends on the vidDetect setting. You can read about it in the readme, but it can be set to detect video sections either off matches, metrics, matches or metrics, or matches and metrics. At default it is set to the last option, metrics and matches. Which means that for a cycle to be detected as video both the matches used by TFM indicate there are not duplicates and the metrics calculated by TDecimate are all above vidThresh. The other option that controls video detection is conCycle, even if the above requirements of vidDetect are met for one cycle the conCycle parameter sets a minimum consecutive cycle limit before any cycle will be marked as video. On default settings it should detect static sections as 23.976 film since all frames need to have metrics above vidThresh... unless the vidThresh value is too low for the clip. The metric parameters (dupThresh and vidThresh) i set relatively low and are geared toward pretty clean material at defaults. You might try using display=true in mode 4 and then go to a static section of the clip to set a more appropriate value for your specific clip. Or you could do it in two pass mode and set a higher conCycleTP value, by defaults conCycle is set to 2 which is its maximum and conCycleTP also defaults to 2.

Also could I bug you for a little sample containing the mouth movement that wasn't matched correctly?
