Try setting -unique 1 in your listgen.ini. That way you'll still get a video for Pac-Man. You can also set use_clones 0 if you want.
Obviously, creating 5500 movies will take a lot more time and disk space than 2000.

Is there a reverse of that where I can easily make a batch file to delete the junk?

how about:
1) put select * from gamedata where isclone='1'; in your filter.sql, and set unique to 0 and use_clones=1 in your listgen.ini
2) run listgen
3) rename your batch.bat to something temporary
4) create a new batch.bat which has the line "del /Q movies\%1.avi" in it (or wherever you store your movies)
5) run makemovies.bat
6) change filter.sql back to what it was and rerun listgen.
7) change your batch.bat back to what it was.
Your mileage may vary, and I do not take responsibility for erased files. :police: I recommend testing your batch.bat with one file first. :)

I wasn't sure that wouldn't throw out a bunch I didn't want to throw out like pacman. ;-)

The resulting movie, however, will not have the detected loop, it will be the entire span of frames. Do you want to have the original loop in the movie? Also, the -movieloops option is set by the batch.bat, so you will have to edit your makemovies.bat and set the -movieloops there.

Thank you VERY much, yes I would like the vdb to have the "detected loop" this way I can "verify" that the detected is indeed the correct loop. Hopefully I will only need to correct a small percent of VDBs. Then, on the ones that are corrected, I could play with the settings and see if I can get that result "automagically".

Hey, easy come, easy go! :) Truly, it shouldn't deleted that many you want to keep. Just eyeball the makemovies.bat before you run it.
Alternatively, make the batch.bat not delete, but move them to another folder, deadmov for example:
move movies\%1.bat deadmov

Okay,
I've uploaded a new binary which contains donny's requested change, which is to create a movie with the original loop even if snapshots are created all the way to -maxmovielength when -movieloops 3 is selected.
When testing I also hand-tweaked a few loops for Silver:
zookeep,2774,5491
startrek,2,3923
mario,26,2816
gorf,9,2730
frogger,93,5240
