Getting ac3 from laserdisc to vcd

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

I was wondering if there was a way to record an AC-3 signal from a laserdisc player to a vcd and play it back on Pioneer 525. I have a pioneer DVL-700 player that has a PCM and AC-3 digital output. Is there a program that could take this signal and produce it like on a DVD. thanks

Well, VCD is defined as MPEG1 352x240 @ 29.97 fps, 1150 kbits/sec for NTSC with MPEG Layer 2 Stereo audio encoded at 224 Kbits/sec.

You can't do AC3 with VCD, although I've heard about mini DVD which uses the same DVD file format, but on a CD-ROM. You may want to look into the mini DVD. I don't know a thing about it, except for the name.

Good luck,
