[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] VCR controller XCMDs

dragon@hubcap.clemson.edu (Michael E. Quattlebaum) (11/30/90)

I know this will sound strange at first, so before anyone 
goes crazy, I need to explain the use of this.

The items that will be viewed from this hypercard stack
will be viewed in ONLY sequential order (i.e., no jumping
around from one part of the tape to the next).  Also, 
this is a relatively small project, and cost/benefits do
not justify putting the material on a LaserDisk.

So, what I need is some XCMDs that will note the counter
number on the VCR, reset it, fast forward, and play.  Does
anyone know if such XCMDs are around?  If so, where can I
get them?  If not, does anyone have the knowhow to write
some?   

Please respond ASAP via e-mail to dragon@hubcap.clemson.edu

Thanks in advance,

Michael Quattlebaum
