Print 16mm/8mm movies with an inkjet
Jesse England has conceived of a way of printing 8mm and 16mm film using an inkjet printer -- you have to cut out the sprocket holes by hand (surely this could be improved upon), but when you're done, you've successfully converted your video files to films.

(Thanks, Jesse!)
Update: Mouser sez, "I have written a free program that will let you print out 'flipbooks' from movies with almost no effort, and it's completely configurable with templates so that you could use the program to do EXACTLY what this post is talking about, in a completely automated fashion. It never occurred to me that the program could be used for this; it's a wonderful idea."
