I have a Yapoos (Jun Togawa) Karaoke Laser Disc... but like it says on the case it's "not for retail sale" :-p

Recently, it's been showing up pretty frequently on Y!A for about 1,500 yen or so.

Nor do I actually have a way to rip it (or even PLAY it... the LD player I have had access to unfortunately only supports PAL... Japan is NTSC *I think*) but I can at least look at it haha. I'm not sure it will be worth buying an LD player just for a few discs, and I'd need to buy an NTSC one too. Hmm.

Anyway, I know this is going off topic but has anyone had much experience in ripping VHS to computer format? Any suggestions on best method? Are them USB VHS players as cheap and nasty as the USB turntables?
