I can't possibly imagine the distributors permitting anyone to video(tape) a movie, even if it is just being used as an "interlock" sort of situation without a recording device. The whole thing would need to be set up to a pretty high degree of quality for it to be acceptable...and at that point what is preventing you from hooking up a VCR and recording it? Valenti probably loses his lunch at Wal-Mart just seeing blank videotapes. No way would he let such a thing pass. Besides, if you're going to go to that much trouble, it would be SO MUCH EASIER to just record the "bootleg" and play that tape back in the other auditorium with staggered show times. So long as you destroy the tape when you lose the movie, it's ok, right? NOPE!
I have a Panasonic DVX-100, which is a MiniDV 24P camera. I have done a test of pointing it at the screen during junk film and an empty gate. Indeed it is flickerless, as it is really capturing at 24P. There was some debate about how it was just simulating 24 frames per second, but nope, it really is 24P. At the resolution of DV, you're only looking at roughly DVD quality though. That's nowhere good enough for a second screen anyway.
And no Jack, I have never used it to pirate a film and never will!
