It's worth noting that the addition of parsing for the VBI information
does not necessarily mean that the VBI no longer shows up in the
picture.  Depending on the hardware, it is not uncommon for the VBI
info to still be present, and it is the application's responsibility
to implement "overscan" to crop out the VBI lines so they are not seen
by the user.
