Jim, you should try the DirectShow feed with Win4K3Suite, I don't have a P3, but I know it supports a couple of different VGA capture devices and I'm pretty sure it's using a DirectShow feed.  There is a trial of Win4K3Suite, you should give it a try.  Then you have an integrated setup for your K3 and you won't need to use VLC.  It's worth a try, maybe Tom the author of Win4K3Suite will chime in.
