Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method for detecting a bad edit. The method includes receiving a 3:2 film-mode video signal comprising a sequence of video fields, for each of the sequence of video fields, determining a state for the each video field based on a first moving-pixel count for the each video field with respect to a previous same-parity video field for the each video field and a second moving-pixel count for a first immediately preceding field for the each video field with respect to a second previous same-parity field for the first immediately preceding field, and identifying the 3:2 film-mode video signal as a bad edit if a predetermined state transition has been detected in the sequence of video fields.
