[streaming] chopping off the top 24 lines of video (Vertical Blanking Interval)

[Anthony Benjammin DeNardo III]

I am VLC streaming some broadcast video on our campus, which is encoded 
by some Hauppaugue cards.  when I view the resulting video on my VLC 
client, the VBI is displayed as the top 24 rows, which appears as a 
fuzzy blue line at the top of the video.  note: in analog television 
systems the vertical blanking interval can be used to carry data, since 
anything sent during the VBI would naturally not be displayed.

I think I could transcode the video in VLC, and crop the top 24 lines, 
but it seems such a waste of resources since the video being received by 
VLC is already encoded.  is there a standard way to receive video from a 
Hauppaugue card, and strip off the VBI data (from the server) so the 
resulting video displayed on the client does not have this fuzzy blue 
line on top?

thanks in advance :-)
