I don't know if this is the right place for this, but... I am in a working group that did not start out to be focused on multimedia systems and applications, but we are migrating. We have lashed together a Sun 3, a Sparc, and 3 Sequent boxes, built a GUI with X-windows, and have the means to display still pics, play audio and control a laser disk distributed across these machines. We can control a laserdisk player from the console, but we are using a separate monitor for viewing the disk contents. Does anyone know of (or can recommend/caution) about the possibilities of sucking the video from the disk player into an X-window? I'm not sure about what issues I would need to address in answering this question ... but I thought I might as well ask! Please reply to me (dwhite@dsys.ncsl.nist.gov) , if anyone else is interested, I will bundle up the replies I get.
