At MacWorld Expo, ACIUS was demoing a 4D application which would control
a videodisc player, a VCR, and launch animation sequences from MacroMind
Director.  I didn't have more than a cursory look at it, but it would
seem to fill the bill.  The developers were two guys from ACIUS (Todd
Carper and A.J. Jennings, I think), and it will eventually be sold for
$200, but someone at the company may be willing to discuss how this can
be done in a generic way.  Since the original sender is from Stanford,
he may be able to talk with one of the developers in person in Cupertino.
