I _can_ control a Laserdisk player with a Mac Plus. I have a PowerBook
170 controlling a 3/4 SP and Betacam decks. But I wasn't so much talking just
the control issue... I was thinking DVD -> HD. Soemthing which will probably
make all the movie companies very, very scared- even though I can do it with
any video capture card and the analogue outs of the DVD player.
