There are a couple of NuBus cards that allow you to do this...
The one I know the most about is the MoonRaker Card from 
WTI corp...(WorkStation Technologies Corp).

It allows both RGB, and Composite input...so you can feed directly from
a vcr or video camera into the card.  There are sample stacks included
that take advantage of the XCMDs which are also provided with the package.
It also comes with a DA that allows you to get single frame 
"snapshots" and save them as PICT files.

(if you are using a IIci, it can't use the onboard video RAM, so you have to 
get a video card as well..)

I'm sorry I don't know how to contact WTI though.
hope this helps.
alexa.
stability is all in your mind.
