My suggestion would be to *definitely* pay the $100 to have it done!
I have a projector, and have done the "project it and film it" routine, and while it *does* work, it does not produce great results. One issue is that old film like that has an "FPS" (frames per second) rate of, I believe, 24 FPS, video camera film at 30 FPS. If those aren't the exact numbers, there is definitely a difference. This difference causes "flickering" in the digitized copy. There are projectors with adjustable frame rates, but they are typically expensive, since everyone knows they're in demand.
