Basically what I am doing is superimposing a video projector and player on my existing cinema setup:

1,2 or 3 sound projectors
Audio mixer
Projector/amp interface
Amplifier/Receiver (plus cd player, flat screen TV)
Speakers

Right now I'm just tapping the audio into a spare channel on the mixer and treating the whole video setup like another film projector.

-as usual with these setups, they start out kind of primitive and I civilize them later!

Just put a mirror beside your screen and it will refrlect the infrared to the VP behind us. It is a simple way to deal with this and cost you almost nothing.

-actually most of the problem is probably that the front of the video player is facing away from the screen.

It's just oriented to make it easy to load a disk.

(Can't have everything!)

I think we've done a cultural good!

-my 14 year old just told me he has the songs from "My Fair Lady" stuck in his head and I found him looking them up on YouTube!

I don't suffer from Cine-envy or ever will.

I still have my collection of films to run whenever the mood
takes me.

However I am the first to hold my hands up when I find
that a DVD or Blu-Ray disc is of better quality than my film
copy and vice versa. [Smile]
