There used to be a prodcut called Video Director which did what you described, but they only do PC products now. There is also an ftp archive on aminet called InfraRexx, which, I believe, describes how build your own serial to infra red converter for a fraction of the cost, it includes some shareware vcr controllers too (I think -- I've not downloaded this myself so I'm only peripherally aware of all the archive contains).
Check it out - a good aminet site is ftp.netnet.net. Good luck.
