Leoreed,

Your question is how I got into the karaoke industry.

It is possible, however, very time consuming. Consider, you don't have a laserdisc player that goes any faster than real time, right?

50 discs x 16 songs x 3.5 minutes average x two sides = 93 hours, 20 minutes.

Those numbers are JUST how long it would take you to record at 1:1 ratio. Then you have set up time, corrections for errors and any other problem that comes along. Also consider that you will have to burn each track INDIVIDUALLY... if you want to run the tracks in a way consistant with their current format.

You could run them all together and then use a program to synch to a particular time frame, but you have to be on the ball and note where each new song begins.

I am NOT trying to discourage you. I said that this very question is what got me involved in karaoke. A bar I frequented in Cali had about 50 of these discs and their player was tempermental at best. I agreed to take the player AND 2 discs home and see if I could convert them to VCD. I succeeded, and in one weeks time brought back a sample. The bar sold the Laserdiscs for $250.... I found the person who bought them and paid him $500 and I use them to this day in my show, they now number over 70.

I don't have the time, right now, to import all those songs.
