In a theater or on dvd? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1331115/releaseinfo , for theatrical release; nothing listed under "DVD Details". Googling "Pianomania DVD Release" and the only solid lead I see is Amazon selling a Russian release of the same name, but R5 and PAL. The DVD region should be no obstacle, but the conversion from PAL to NTSC always reduces video quality. I don't mess with the file-share nets, but someone who does may find it already posted. As to the optics, what with today's miniaturization, a simple lens system with a digital video capture module and a fiber optic cable for data out would do it. Lighting requirements and lens system complexity would be minimal, considering that with dv, depth-of-field and (to a certain extent) "available light" are non-issues. Remember, the camera position is static and the frame speed is ~30 fps, not hi- speed video's 3000 fps. Bill Ballard -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
