If you want to record a VGA signal, you need a scan converter. Some of them
are available for around 100-200 bucks, some are a lot more expensive. The
picture quality will be reduced to regular S-video or video resolution and
can be recorded with a VCR.
Most scan converters have a loop out, so you'd hook it up in line with the
VGA going to the projector.
