I'd be curious to know, is it possible to get a straight digital read of a laserdisc? Or does one have to output the analog signal from the LD into a capture device? I seem to recall back in highschool that the science dept had a laserdisc player with a serial port that allowed them to connect a computer to it. What exactly this was for, I don't know, but it seems to me that if we can take the raw data off the laserdisc, as opposed to the analog output, we'd end up with a higher quality product.
