This article from wikipedia should answer your question:

The building's distinctive Art Deco spire was originally designed to be a mooring mast and depot for dirigibles. The 102nd floor was originally a landing platform with a dirigible gangplank.[65] A particular elevator, traveling between the 86th and 102nd floors, was supposed to transport passengers after they checked in at the observation deck on the 86th floor.[66] However, the idea proved to be impractical and dangerous after a few attempts with airships, due to the powerful updrafts caused by the size of the building itself,[67] as well as the lack of mooring lines tying the other end of the craft to the ground.[68] A large broadcast tower was added to the top of the spire in 1953.[65]

So no there isn´t a real video of a dirigible landing at the Empire State Building other then those you see in fiction.
