My suggestion is to get hold of the Arri 35 book by Jon Fauer.

Somewhere in there he discusses how to shoot off a TV monitor. It is a 
great primer.

That said, shooting off of an LCD monitor as opposed to a CRT (Tube TV 
or computer monitor) can make life easier. A short test will always be 
advisable.

You also might give Du Art a call, I believe they had a "film Chain" set 
up for lower cost transfers from Video to Film.

Hope this helps.
