Thanks, this is helpful, thanks.

With the new ALL method, the "Strict Commercial Detection" setting wasn't
being used, so I just committed a change to CVS to use it in the blank-frame
detection code to allow reverting to the stricter black-frame detection that was
put into CVS when I first added the ALL method.  If you are using "ALL" and you
don't have "Strict Commercial Detection" turned ON, can you try turning that ON
and seeing if it helps detection for you?
