[Frameworks] homemade video copies of 16mm

[Robert Houllahan]

Moviestuff used to sell a mirror box with a condenser lens but you could probably get an acceptable lens and mirror at Edmund Otics which would allow for filming an aerial image from a projector. Forget NTSC it's dead as a doorknob and good riddance. 1080 24 frame transfer can be converted to any lower res format easily.
