I used a USB SPDIF in/out box so there was no mixing, and I got a bit-perfect digital rip of the AC3 audio stored on the Laserdisc. It sometimes took a couple of goes when the soundcard skipped a beat in the middle of a recording, but otherwise all I had to do was strip out the padding between AC3 frames.

What programme did you use to record/capture, what settings did you use and in what format did you store the audio? What programme did you use to go from 44 to 48.0 kHz?
