I have some Laserdiscs I got at a flea market and I wish to turn them into divx. I know laserdisc is digital format but I can't find any computer drives for them (they are too big to fit in a drive space). I know there are anolog players but I don't have a capture card and anolog video has a irratating quality problem when turned into divx. These laserdisc movies aren't available on DVD. Can anyone point me to a external Laserdisc drive for a computer? Or how to digitally rip it?

You can't digitally rip a laserdisc. The video is stored in an analog format as opposed to DVD's digital format. You would have to use a capture card. -
It isn't ones and zeros on the disc? How is it stored? Refelctivity of the disc?Originally posted by Mark Madness

It has the pits and lands of any other optical disc but the information is luminance, chrominance, sync etc... properties of a composite analog video instead of video compression algorithms on a DVD. That is why you get video noise off of a laserdisc.Comment

Nope, the video is NOT digital, but the sound IS. The sound is separate from the picture. You can do what I do:
Buy a cheap LD Player off of Ebay
Connect it to a Capture card - I use ATI all in wonder (works nice)
Catpure the sound with composite
Capture the video using the S-video port for better resolution.cplevel42@attbi.comComment
