[DM-MUG] Movie film conversion

[Bryan Baker]

I think the biggest trick would be getting a reliable transfer to video 
in the first place, I think the film->video equipment they use can be 
kind of pricey (as most film stuff would be), partly because they would 
have to have several different setups for different film stock. You 
could /try/ it with a projector, a decent screen and a FW equipped 
video camera on a tripod (possibly even skipping the tape stage) but 
sync and focus would probably not be optimal.
