Need help capturing digital audio

[arnie.d]

Hi,

I want to capture the digital dolby surround track of a 1995 star wars laserdisc. I can capture the audio (and movie) but then I have a wave file which I have to encode into a ac3 file so that's quality loss I would say. What software/hardware would I need to capture the actual digital audio? The laserdisc player I use has digital out (both coax and optical).

There's some good discussion of this here if you search prior posts. I think it dates back a few years, & discusses the particular challenges of laserdisc.

Oh, I didn't know that, I'll have a search. Thanks for the info.
