Jim!-Hold everything.
I've been re-recording super 8 stuff for years, and in most cases, all of the extra equipment is not needed. The Little Rascal shorts are very easy to record directly from the VCR or DVD machine.
I'm not familiar with your projector, but I use the Sankyo 800 and all I do is run a cord from the audio out on the VCR to the AUX IN on the projector.
In most cases, the Video/DVD will run 95-100% the same as the projector. If not, you will have to stop occassionaly to let the projector or Video catch up. Patience is required.
The only difficult part to me is with the titles. Since Blackhawk made there own, you can't really match the picture up until after the credits. What I do is start recording the titles from the video, then when the picture fades in after the credits, I stop both units and find a specific point to synchronize from (works best with the first "cut away" scene). Once you get everything running together, it usually works fine, but you need to keep watching to make sure they stay lined up.
Good luck! Have fun with it!! Nick.
