Is the horrible flashing visible in real life?

No, that's an artifact of the difference in frame/scan rate between the camera and DMD.

@coondogtheman1234: The DMD only takes a digital signal, so you'd have to create something that would read the composite video and convert it to 128x32 pixels grayscale, and then 'render' it back out to the DMD.

can youi feed a standard composite video signal into this display and have it show it on the screen, like hook a video game system to the input of the controller and have the video game be shown on the screen, do a video on that

does the display have all the multiplexers, registers, etc? are you using the arduino as a data train, or does the arduino actually do the multiplexing? i'd really love to know how you pulled this off..
