I think you may find the cost and time investment to copy the Laserdiscs is
going to be prohibitive with questionable results. I would recommend
keeping the Laserdiscs but replacing them, over time, with new DVD
recordings. I think you will be happier with the results and the cost will
be spread over several years.

I have over 100 opera laserdiscs that I want to copy to DVD. I'm trying
to
find a way of doing while preserving sound quality close to the original
and
so far failing, not getting much help from the DVD specific newsgroups.

I tried a Philips stand alone DVD recorder and got muted sound, lower in
volume than the original and lacking in high frequency brilliance. I
returned the recorder and debating trying another brand or method but not
getting much help or recommendation from other groups; hoping maybe
someone
with a "high-end" orientation may have more experience andwilling to
share!

Thanks!
