Actually without that VBI won't work, the Hauppauge driver sets that up
exactly as we do for PAL and NTSC, odd but a fact, without that setup
VBI doesn't work (actually the last 4 registers set in there, but all in
a bundle, and improves picture quality too, seems to override the trigger
tolerances for certain things)


Thanks,
Chris
