It's impossible.
Laserdisc is an analog format.

Is there a way to copy the files on the laserdisc directly onto the harddrive? I would like to know if there is hardware that could achieve this (or if it can be built, theoretically). I was thinking on something along the lines of a LD player rigged into some sort of "LD-Drive" that you can hook up directly to the IDE port.
If that was possible I could back up my LDs with the highest quality (i.e. losless). *starts dreaming*

The only possible way would be like capturing VHS to a computer, digitalizing it.
