    The first thing you should do is ask the theater what capabilities they have for digital projection. Some may not have any.

    Spanky,

    I’m willing to bet NO MATTER HOW IT LOOKS on the screen, she’s gonna say yes!

    You get points just for trying and taking your proposal to the next level. Good luck.

    let us know how it went.

    If there is any chance that she will say no thereby spanking you upside your head then make sure she pays for the popcorn.

    Yes, this is ripe for reality programing or at least the evening news! Can you get a buddy to slip a pocket cam between the seats in front to catch her reaction? Maybe another buddy off to the side recording a wide shot from accross the isle and a sound man in the seat behind you. If you can’t sell it at least you could play it at the wedding.

    You would have to get the theater’s permission to bring a camera into the theater which is a touchey thing these days and of coarse your girlfriend/fiancais will have the final word on this. Best of luck!

    Actually DVDSP will burn HD onto a regular dvd. You just wouldn’t have the space on the dvd for regular programs but your piece should fit well. It will only play on a computer though. If you have dvdsp you can easily create an HD version of your dvd. I’m not sure if idvd does this but it might as well. Check your help menu.
