I think I'm about 3 hours into processing this one side of a laserdisc, and it's about... 3/4th's done? good lord.

8 hours to process an hour of footage? that seems a bit excessive. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. probably several somethings

@fluffy oh sorry, I mixed up what I'd said where, and thought I'd already said this was being captured with a Domesday Duplicator, which is an RF capture device for laserdiscs/VHS/etc

ran out of disk space again.no matter how much disk space you have free, you will need more if you deal with laserdiscs

@gabboman laserdiscs are an analog format, which makes dealing with them a bit of a pain. These files are so big because we're trying to capture maximum quality

using CUDA to process laserdiscs seems wrongyeah I've got a pocket supercomputer processing this video format that's contemporaneous with the Apple II

@foone hey, it was easily 10 or 15 years from "dedicated hardware can decode a compact disc" to "computer can read the digital audio in real time"

@foone That's just a re-statement of Parkinson's Law.[1] 3:O)>[1] "Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion." [2][2] "Data expands to fill the space available for storage."Though this moose would change "fill" in the second quote to "exceed".

@Cadbury_Moose I don't think it is, because this format was invented in 1978 at which point it would be completely impossible to do this. It's only recently when hard drives have gotten bigger that it's been remotely possible to process this much data at once on consumer hardware
