You need to look into two items, one hardware the other software.
The hardware is the RasterOps Video Colorboard 364. It will allow you
to show live-action video images (e.g., from camera, VCR, or I-Videodisk)
in a window on your color Mac monitor (32 bit color). The software is
MacroMind Director.

I am not yet using this equipment but soon will be, to do a multimedia
sign language dictionary (words and definitions stored on videodisk,
interface done in Hypercard and Director). From what I have been able
to determine (users, reviews, friends, etc) these are two excellent products.

If you'd like more info, give me about a month and then contact me. I
should be up and running by then on my dictionary project.

Good luck!
