Filming off a screen causes flicker or strobing because the speed of the projector doesn't synchronize with the camcorder video. The hot film projector bulb can cause your old, brittle film to burn or warp. Worse, the film projector could scratch or "eat" the film when the teeth of the sprockets grab the film to transport it through the projector.

Resolution is reduced because a lower grade analog composite video camera is often used. A lower quality camera affects the original film colour while white hot spots or washouts can occur blocking out part of the frame. When recorded directly onto VHS, the video tape not only has a limited lifespan but a lower quality 240 lines of resolution.
