I think there are two issues.

1. GUI interface showing when VLC running
2. Dos box showing when VLC is running.

The first issue is handled by VLC command line option

The second issue is more tricky. You can't close the DOS box window and
have VLC still running if the window was opened to make VLC run.  The
trick is to start VLC but with the option not to have a window or else
minimise the window.   The Tuner plugin can manage it because when it
calls Windows CreateProcess.   I think you can do the same by either
using something like the hstart program (
http://www.ntwind.com/software/utilities/hstart.html  ) or running a
desktop short cut with "cmd.exe /c" followed by your VLC command.  In
both cases you need to make sure your vlc doesn't open up any GUI
windows.
