Is anyone willing to capture video from laserdisc for someone who is willing to provide discs but doesn’t have a player?

Maybe you should specify the country the provider is from, because it would help you to reduce mailing costs.

Additionally I would suggest that you specify the LDs you want to preserve, maybe someone with an LD Player allready has done it....

ChuckieDee73 and I are searching for a guy/gal with an HLD-X0 laser disc player who would be happy to preserve some laser discs to raw avi files onto dvd.

Macross LD donors reside throughout the world: Australia, Hong Kong, Canada, etc.

1. perfect edition Macross: DYRL CAV
2. Macross: Flashback CAV
3. MII OVA 1-6 CAV
4. SDF TV Memorial CAV/CLV
5. Macross Plus OAV 1-4 CAV
6. Macross Plus Movie CLV
7. Macross 7 7 or 8 discs CAV

Thanks!

The last person to ask a similar question did not get any replies, unfortunately.

I helped out fellow UK member SeeNoEvil with a transfer last year, but these days I don't have the time to be doing analogue captures.

My advice would be to forget about getting a transfer from an X0, and set yourself a more realistic goal. Look on eBay, get yourself a cheapish player (you might want to consider the V8000, currently at $40 finishing in 6 hours). You can also get PCI capture cards very cheaply.

Failing that, you could always pay for a conversion service such as the one mentioned in this thread.
