Any advice for transfering a video LaserDisc to DVD or BluRay ?? [View all]

I have an old concert recording that was only released on LaserDisc. There don't seem to be any local services for doing the conversion, only mail-order services that require me to ship the disc to them and pay a substantial fee for the conversion (WalMart is one of them. Ugh.). Also, there are warnings about the sound being higher quality on the LD than on DVD's, but I would guess this is not a concern with BluRay. Any one have any suggestions, based on either technical knowledge or IRL experience ?

Most of the jacket text is in Japanese; only NTSC, LaserDisc, Stereo Digital Sound, CLV, Laser Vision logos and 94 minutes are in English.

No. Don't know where to borrow one, and I'm not buying one for only 1-2 discs. nt eppur_se_muova May 2022 #2
