I have the entire Pioneer Laser Disk collection converted on hard drive, along with the Original Artist Laser disk collection and misc playboy karaoke vids, runs just a hair under 80GB... I don't use a laptop... I have a custom tower PC that I built... works just dandy... - tig

I have my entire LD collection converted to DVD discs. I don't see why you can't convert them to digital format and play them with media player of some sort. If you can play MPEG type format, you should be able to play any LD converted files.

OK,  I had to do a double-take after reading the heading here.  I recall Laser Disk's being relatively large to play on a notebook system.

Anyone know of a relatively inexpensive site to purchase S-Video composite cables over 10 feet (to dual male RCA phono 1/8 inch- television input)

How did you get it on 80 . It's going to take me right under 400 gig to do what I'm doing. What format did you use?

Not sure which program they used to rip them... they are MPG files and they average around 25MB-50MB each...  Seems like they could almost be Xvideos because of their size but I am not sure... I will have to find a little program buried on a disk somewhere that tells me all the codecs used on a multimedia file...

Did you lose any quality?  In sound or picture?  Does it take a lot of processor to run them?  Right now I need a 2 Gig to feel safe that they will run without glitching up while I load the next song.  I have to talk to my guru I thing these are MPG3.  About 80 discs, on a 400 Hard drive.

I have run this setup on a 1Ghz processor and 512MB RAM with little or no problem.  Was running PCDJ Red for mixing music and then Winamp with the mp3+g and pacemaker plugins.  Videos, mp3+g's, mix music and things I could do without but did anyways LOL quality on the MPG's are fine... some of the vids have the swipe off more than it should but to 99.9% of the people out there, if they wanna sing on pioneer, are wanting the corny videos or the music rendition and they are forgiving on the swipe issue...
