Does any one know of ways to hook a laserdisc to a Macintosh?

We would like to use software on the Mac (eg HyperCard) to control/select
images on a videodisc.

A first cut at this would use separate monitors for the mac and the video,
but eventually, we would like to have the video on the same screen as the
menus and support multiple computer access to the videodisc across a
network.

Is this something we will have to do from scratch or is there any 
hardware and software out there to do this?

Please reply via e-mail (at least) since I dont read all of these
newsgroups regularly. If I get enough responses, I will post to the
net and e-mail summaries to each contributor.

thanks much
