Does anyone know of a way to interface a VCR to a Macintosh, such that one could select frame sequences, as well as capture Mac generated graphics onto the video tape? We're wanting to put together a video development station that can be used to prepare video material ultimately for videodisc. We want to drive the equipment from Hypercard or an authoring language in order to prototype computer-based learning material. Hopefully we'd be able to test a tutorial (albeit slower) from the tape, before going to the expense of mastering a videodisc. Any thoughts or product info would be appreciated. --- Brian K.

There isn't a VCR interface, as far as I know... Except for outputting Mac graphics/text to a VCR via NTSC signals. No one makes a VCR interface or software, and the accuracy of VCR control is questionable (No reasonably easy way to switch from a frame in the front to the end besides a 10 minute wait for rewind). No frame numbers, either.
