Hi,

IIRC and AFAIK the vga out of the Hollywood Plus (it's the same card as
the dxr3 but from the original manufacturer) is only a loop throug with
overlay, so theoretically you could get it to work, but i seriously
doubt that it will work right away with existing software...
But on the other hand you should ask the guy (IIRC it is Andreas
Schultz) that wrote/is writing the dxr3 plugin...
