I just spent the last year doing this. And I think that it turned out pretty darned good.
I tried a few methods. Projecting onto a wall. Worked pretty good Bought a Projector to Video camera box. Didn?t work as well as the "wall" And projecting onto a white piece 8.5 by 11 paper. I used my digital video camera to re-film the footage. To get rid of the flicker, I set the shutter speed down to 1/60 (I think). This worked for me. >From there I could have saved it to hard drive, but it went to VHS instead. I used imovie to make titles for each individual film. I am satisfied with the results. But it was quite time consuming. Like I said it took a year, but I didn?t work on it every day either. Not even every month.
