Laserdisc recorder on eBay
#1
What do you get the man/woman who has everything? Why a laserdisc recorder of course:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142246948379?_...EBIDX%3AIT

Has anyone here ever heard of such a thing? I think it's for broadcast use.

AFAIK the problem with the Sony LD recorders is that they used special LD in cartridge typed recordable discs.

Some years ago there was a LD recorder for standard recordable LDs at eBay, together with 5 recordable discs... But it was too expensive to obtain.

Sadly, the CRV discs are not laserdiscs, hence not compatible nor playable with a standard laserdisc player...

Yes indeed the blank disc cartridges seem to be the stumbling block. I'm guessing this recorder was for broadcast, in the way that 8-tracks were used for radio 'jingles'.

This is a component format, while laserdisc is composite, completely uncompatible.

Still, a great piece of hardware to own! Wink

This is turning out to be a popular auction. Anyone here bidding on it?

I was wondering if perhaps this could be reverse engineered and then with the knowledge an engineer could make a modern LD recorder that simply makes a file instead of a disc. Basically I would like ton know exactly how this laserdisc recorder could be improved to translate and copy an LD to a file

This is actually done - take a look at Domesday86 project: https://www.domesday86.com/

Well, LDdecode software (along with proper hardware) literally copy everything is recorded onto a laserdisc into a file - hence video, audio (analog and digital), closed captions or teletext subtitles, LD-ROM codes.
