That is a full plate of questions.

1. Microstudio will extract cdg files from a cdg karaoke disc if one uses a cdg compliant drive.

2. Microstudio does not convert files

3. Saving saving laser discs to the hard drive of a computer requires different things depending on your ultimate need:

-To save the sound only to the computer you need a connection to your sound card and a program that will record from a line-in to some music file format (Wave files are the format that you can use in a program that you don't mention, KHPRO. Programs that allow you to record Wave files are easy to come by)

-To save the Laser video and sound you need a video capture card. Depending on the software you have, you can most likely take these captured video files and burn them to vcd or dvd

4. You can create cdgs of the music you have on Laser disc by recording Wave files and adding text and graphics (not video) using KHPRO.

I have a lot of experience with recording wave files and creating cdg's. I haven't captured video. But I think my advice is solid. Do not look to Microstudio to convert Laserdisc to any format at all.
