They just replace the syncs, and don't do anything else to the video signal. I do something like that just to watch macrovision stuffed up tapes and discs, here. All of our television sets get the jitters while playing them. -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
