Why does it drift? You'd think it'd be locked in....

I presume you could easily produce a video tape of this as well?

When I get back to the states, I do plan on doing something. I'm thinking of
some Meiji and early Taisho stuff at first...possibly an English benshi
soundtrack as well.

Thanks for taking the first step towards making our subtitling consortium a
reality, Michael!

For more information on the consortium, I've placed the draft "rules" we
whipped up last year on Kinema Club
([http://pears.lib.ohio-state.edu/Markus/] under teaching).
