Karaoke Forums

Hey guys need your help. I am purchasing some pioneer karaoke discs. I love the cheesy videos. Was wanting to know if anyone has had any experience in media shifting these discs to their computer and playing them on Compuhost. I would prefer to avoid using a pioneer player. Please let me know if this is possible. Thanks!

There are several previous threads on this so you might try a search--here is one that I found right off hand: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=23992&hilit=convert+pioneer

Oh--the Search function is sometimes hard to notice--it is on the left of the page under where it says Karaoke Scene--go down a bit under FAQS.

Yep a good cvideo capture card with software and a laserdisc player. Also about 1 hour play/rip time per side of each disc. Once done, it's well worth the effort.

Yep, Compuhost V2 will play them back fine (V1 will work with a little fiddlin'.) Use a player with S-Video out, capture in a high quality format (I use DV) edit into individual songs and save with standard karaoke names, something like "PD051B-01 - Houston, Whitney - Exhale.MP4", Install the K-Lite Codec Pack and batch compress. Compuhost recomends the "WMV" format, but I use MP4s with no problems. Smaller and higher quality.
