A cheaper, but perhaps not as effective method would be to go to film
first and then convert back to video.  Unfortunately it may be necessary
to single frame the film in order to avoid obnoxious sync bars on the film.
If the computer can control the shutter of the camera, and can 'single shot'
or accurately control the video output so that each camera exposure contains
a consistant number of vertical sweeps of the picture, the entire process
can then be automated via program control.  It's concievable that this
could be done with very low budget equipment, (super 8 etc..) if price
is important, and the resultant film can then be transferred to whatever
format video you like by local film or video labs.

However, I have no idea what effect this will have on the resultant resolution
of the final video tape.  Turn around time is also very long, but you get
what you can pay for.
