The real test for these kinds of filters is to run them on material that
has very little change from frame to frame. Try them on a dimly lit scene
with little action and camera motion. You may find that the filter will
start eliminating the wrong frames because they all qualify as duplicates,
while frames that should be duplicates (following the 3:2 pattern)
actually have more change between them and won't be eliminated.
It can be frustrating because your filter may run perfectly on material
that doesn't hit these two cases, but then fails later when it comes
across them.
