There are a few products that will do the video preview in a Windows WIndow.
DVA4000 board and M-Motion board are two of the more common creatures.

Both cost around $3000CDN.

You need a controlable VCR or LaserDisc player. Many options here.
One of the easiest would be an NEC PC-VCR which has an RS232 port to
control the VCR. 

Remember though that tapes are very slow to "seek" to ANYWHERE on the tape
accurately. LaserDiscs are much quicker at this. It might be wort making
a laser disc (a proof disk is about $400CDN) to do your stuff.
