The video is encoded in an analog FM format.  The only way I know of to
read it is with a laserdisc player.  Since it is, I believe, recorded
using CLV (constant linear velocity), you would need to get an LD
player with a frame store to do frame-by-frame playback.  I have heard
of only one industrial player that can do this.  Some consumer players
can do freeze field, which might be acceptable.  You would still need
to use a frame grabber to get the video into your computer.
