I am working on a project trying to output video from a stored
location on a hard drive, and I would like to output the video by use
of a microcontroller.

All I know is that the video is in AVI format.
Hard drive is ata/33.
The chip should be connected to the hard drive, a remote control of
some sort, and output devices (TV, projector). The projector is
currently hooked up to a VCR. My project is to use a hard drive
rather than the VCR.
I'm not really concerned with the audio, just the video for now.

I am having a difficult time with finding informaiton about chips,
which would work best for my situation.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
