Hello Bob, I'm happy to hear the post helped (and that you didn't mind my often terrible spelling :-)

As far as the connections etc., just get a progressive scan DVD player and use a component video connection to the display. Progressive DVD players are so common now it's hard to buy one that doesn't have it - At most you should need an adapter cable to adapt the regular cable to the type of plug/input used on the projector/display. You can order a cable online that'll have the 3 rca's for the component connection to the DVD player on one end and the kind of plug your projector needs on the other (looks like the plug that goes into your computer monitor) - though more and more projectors have the regular rca inputs for the component. Either way it's the same signal, just a matter of physically getting it plugged in.
