Here is the way to convert LD to CDG........

1. Record your audio into a .wav file on your hard drive using a sound card
2. Edit any silence at the start and end
3. Run MTU's Karaoke Pro
4. Type in the lyrics text on each line (you may want to run the LD and stop it to read the lyrics)
5. Import the recorded/edited music .wav file
6. Place the lyrics to the music (read the manual for this)
7. Edit any mistakes to your satisfaction
8. Export your new Karaoke song as a .CDG file
9. Run Microstudio
10. In the Custom Assembly Tab, in the [b[Add Track[/b] section, click the From Disc option and locate your .cdg song
11. Add any other songs to this Assembly list before writing it to a CDG Karaoke disc
12. Put a blank CDR disc in the CDR drive you have selected
13. Click the Write CD button

Voila! You have your LD song on a CDG disc with the lyrics highlighting in sync to the music. Yes, without the background video, but you now have your song to sing on CDG.

Comment:

The original Pioneer Laser Discs had some Great Instrumental Arrangements that were not used in their CDG version.

This is one way to keep the original arrangements.

A good example is "Mack the Knife", excellent on Laser Disc, (probably best arrangement of this song from any company) but
reallly bad on their CDG version.
