Does anybody know of a place where I can take my Laserdiscs in and have them transferred to DVD?

I know of places that do this for VHS and film, but are there any for Laserdisc?

I never had the nerve to make the final cut.

Sorry I don't know where you can get that done. But if you need a place to store your "backup" DVD's I will be happy to help... ;-)

Not sure why you posted in the "Theatrical vs Special Edition" forum but....

Technically its totally illegal for any commercial company to make copies of copyrighted material. So most legit place would turn you down. Secondly, You would have an imposibble time finding a place that even had the capabilty of doing it. I would be surprised if a video production company had a laserdisc player.

If you are looking to transfer some of your laserdiscs that are rare, are not available on DVD, or bonus features not available on DVD, than I may be interested in helping you out. I have the capability to do LD to DVD-R transfers. If you are looking to get your OT Laserdiscs of Star Wars transferred to DVD, I highoy reccomend purchasing copies already available from member TR47. Go to the general discussion forum, and look at the "bootleg DVD" thread. If its something else you have, contact me at nostromo777@hotmail.com if its something im interested in, Ill make you some copies if you send me your LDs.

Thanks, echo 3.

But I'm just not willing to send my laserdiscs to somebody I don't know or trust.
No offense intended, but thanks for the offer.

If the picture quality of the bootleg DVDs is the same as what I have, I guess I don't have much to gain anyway.

Except that you save yourself running the risk of killing your VHS copies in an overzealous VCR. Well, okay, you're talking LDs. So I guess this would only apply to us LD-impaired folks.
