I have one of those, there's two openings, one of which might have a lens (it's buried under a pile of junk right now so I can't check). The projector points into one end and the video camera into the other, and a mirror or two reflects the projected image at the camera lens.
I was able to get a fairly bright image several years ago using an analogue video camera, but there was a lot of annoying flicker (probably due to the projector running at 24fps while the camera ran at 60). I have another set of old home movies converted to VHS that were done professionally, and I suspect the projector they used was modified to run at 30fps since there's no flicker but people seem to move a little faster than normal.
If I'm able to convince my cousin that he should put his films onto DVD I'll borrow his projector and try it again with a digital camera. I'll try to get the camera and projector to run at the same speed (or at least get one to be a multiple of the other), and if I can't I think there's an antiflicker filter for Virtualdub and/or Avisynth...
