Extracting Digital Video from LaserDiscs?

americanatavist asks: "I was wondering how feasible it would be to digitally copy LaserDisc movies to DVD. Clearly this would require the standard suite of tools to make a DVD. What method would yield the maximum level of quality? Is it worth the effort to find a means of extracting the digital information using an LD-ROM drive, or would the S-video from a regular LD player suffice?"

Get it? Oh man I'm good...

Those LD-Rom drives, and standard laserdisc players in general, are so big, you'd throw a disc out trying to move one of those.

Aha...

You've got a set of those THX Original-Edition Star Wars LaserDiscs, don't you?

Find me a region 1 disc that isn't a bootleg.

You should have picked up a set of the restored (not the Special edition) trilogy that came out not long before the Special Editions came out...

Han still shoots first.
