I have considered setting this up to capture some of my favorite laserdiscs: http://justsolve.archiveteam.org/wiki/Domesday_Duplicator https://github.com/simoninns/DomesdayDuplicator

At least the manufacturer was a bit more reasonable with regard to product obsolescence and lifecycle. Seems a bit rare these days.

Happy to watch videos where you fix the things that help you fix the things... Just sayin'.

I don't know why others come to FranLab, but I just like hearing you talk... I don't mind what the subject matter is. Your channel has a unique charm that sets it apart from the overproduced, loud, flashy channels. I really wish you could get enough views making one video per week to alleviate the workload and allow you time to focus on your wellbeing.

Analog video and audio for LDs. Later in the 80's they added a PCM digital track for stereo digital audio, but the video format remained analog.

Fran, your content IS interesting, it is the lack of a supportive forum that is not based on mass marketing objectives that seems to me to be the problem. Thank you for making the effort to continue as best as you can.

As I recall, Laser disks are digital. RCA made an analog video disk playback system, "Selectavision", which used a physical needle to read the disk. Those also wore down in the same way that vinyl records do.

Didn't know you had a jukebox. Do you have arcade machines ? Are laser discs digital or analog ? Can you 'rip' them ? Can you preserve plastic by keeping them in a humidity-controlled environment ? I'm thinking of nylon here specifically but maybe other plastics need something different I agree about printing gears, but I'd really like to be able to do that sort of thing. There are specialist machines that can work at that sort of resolution. Maybe a small, good quality consumer machine (voron ? bambu ?) could do it. Anybody got any experience of that resolution ?
