[quote author=Mach-X link=msg=869481 date=1405133858]This could all be avoided if a CD sized, laser read analog format was created. Didn't laserdiscs use analog like an LP but read by laser? Then the only argument would be the best way to rip it..?[/quote]
Laserdiscs used PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) for video and FM audio. (Later discs had digital audio.) They weren't losslessly rippable.
