Silent Film mode for DVD players
  (+16, -1)(+16, -1)

The "Silent Film" mode for DVD players will show all films in grainy black and white with a slightly variable frame-rate. The musical score for the film will be analysed and converted to a piano accompaniment. Random subtitles from the DVD's subtitle track will occasionally be extracted and shown, surrounded by decorative flourishes, in an old-fashioned typeface in white on a black screen. The credits will be shown at the beginning of the film. At the end of the film, the text "THE END" will be shown over the closing shot.

       //analysed and converted to a piano accompaniment// Is this possible to automate? Shouldn't it just _be_ silent? Or at least just make ciné projector sound effects sssschackerchackerchacker... You can sit at the piano and improvise your own accompaniment. I agree with [ZT], this sounds like a project for a studio of film-makers (in China presumably, to keep costs down)

       It should be, with the appropriate software, but on a computer, not on the cheap hardware inside a DVD player.

       Friends did this with their wedding video. Devastatingly funny, with jerky motion and cars zooming about frantically.

       Two thumbs up, by the way.
