To try and take my mind off all the craziness happening lately, I got around to digitizing laserdiscs and betamax tapes.

Not even gonna attempt to fathom how you can digitize laserdiscs, but I'd imagine it takes as long as a VHS rip does and I know how to do those.

I hook everything up to my laptop and transfer them in real-time.

So yeah, about as long as a VHS rip. You need to watch the movie you're converting, or at least the program does, so I'm guessing somewhere around an hour and a half?

Depends on what film or program it is. I monitor everything I transfer.

Exactly. There's plenty of rare material that hasn't been reissued yet.
