You could try putting some very small capacitors in series with the trigger
inputs to filter out the DC component of the signal, and only let short
spikes through at the transitions between high and low.  (And a resistor
pull up the level so that only the lowest peak crosses into "low" and the
rest registers as "high" to the chip.)

I'm thinking of adding HSYNC delay to my RGB-to-Svideo converter as well, so
I'm going to try using a 556 on mine as well.
