"Did you know that laserdisc DTS soundtracks are 6ch 44.1KHz 20bit 1,2Mbps ?"

Well, today I tested a lot with a DTS laserdisc - guess which title? - and I didn't manage to save more than few seconds of DTS sound using VirtualDub... at least, I discovered that using an audio recorder - something simple like Windows Sound Recorder - is it possibile to record a laserdisc DTS sound directly from the S/PDIF input...

Capturing a DTS soundtrack along with its video counterpart could be better, to allow cutting (and/or inserting) frames, together with audio... it would be a LOT more difficult to mux only the LD DTS soundtrack with a digital video (from DVD or BD) and then find where to cut or how to align properly audio with video...

What are your experiences about capturing video and DTS audio from a laserdisc? Any feedback is welcome, as the usual little voice popped into my mind whispering "... you have a BUNCH of Jurassic Park laserdiscs... NTSC, PAL, DTS, Dolby Surround, CAV, CLV, Box Sets, english & italian, a making of... and don't forget those Lost World discs too... why don't you start a new Jurassic Park 1+2 DTS [ruLes] project?!?"
