This is NOT to dissuade you from doing that, but the problem I see
with any video digitizer attached to a CCD camera is that you've got

	analog->digital->analog->digitized
	light    ccd      NTSC    video

multiple analog->digital conversions.  Every time you do that you lose
information and introduce distortion.
