We present results of an evaluation of several existing Logical Story Unit segmentation methods based on film theory. Three types of methods known from video processing literature were evaluated. An unprecedented amount of 8 hours for 6 different videos were used to evaluate the methods under the same circumstances so that an unbiased judgement is presented. As Logical Story Units cannot be defined with full certainty, a new evaluation method is introduced measuring the economic impact of results. Experiments show reasonable performance for all methods. Time constrained clustering is the most effective and consistent method.
