If you can get the output to SVGA or Composite then the easiest way by
far is simply connect playback device to a hardware dvd recorder.

That's like saying your flashlight has RCA ports for SVGA or composite.
Really?

There are *film* projectors with RCA connectors? Never saw one.
Neglecting the audio component and just looking at the video components,
projectors have a bulb aka lamp, shutter, sprockets to position and halt
each film frame behind the lens, and motor to move the film and
mechanical parts.

To what logic or circuitry would the RCA ports connect in a film
projector? The projector doesn't itself capture the image. It's just
shining a light through the film.

I very much doubt Gilliver has a projector with an internal CCD screen
to capture the image and output to signal connectors instead of
projecting the modified light to a screen. If he had one of those, he
would definitely remember having one and not have asked about how to
convert film to video.

Maybe you forgot Gilliver was asking how to convert *film* to video, not
about converting VHS tapes to video/disc.
