VISTA registration fix.

Please check the Help 2.0 online Global VM Section
Fix: Displaying VM command in connection was broken if VM command had OR operator.

Changes for v2.21b (update) - v2.22 (update)

Add: Sub-Regiter Wizard remembers last register selected.
Fix: AUdio Count in IFO was wrong in some cases
Fix: Muxer now pack last 3 GOPs into one VOBU if the total duration is less than 1 second second

Changes for v2.20 - v2.21

Add: Comment box in VM script
Ch: Circle in menu is few pixels smaller so it doesn't cut off the right and bottom
Add: New Enhanced menu rendering to PAL and NTSC, improves Highlighting coverage
Add: Sub-Registers wizard in VM Editor. You can virtually divide first 10 GPRM registers into more (2 ,4, 8,16) smaller parts . This allows you to have for example 20 one-byte sized registers (values: 0-255), 40 four-bit registers (values:0-15) or even 160 single-bit flags. The wizard makes easier to generate the necessary VM operations.
Changed, Fixed and Cleaned - Subtitle Timecode, now you should always use the Real Time 25fps & 29.97 fps settings for your subtitles. But there are two other options Correct if subs show early and Correct if subs show late, use these if at some point the DF/NDF is incorrect in your subtitles, this will correct it in the right dirrection and hopefully end the confussion about NDF and DF subtitles.
