Well, it's another one of those rips of official Sega home longplay videos from the ’80s. I've done a horrible thing and picked up a LaserDisc player so I can digitize material from a different medium altogether. Is the video quality actually better than VHS video? I don't know! But I have never owned an LD player before, so this is kind of neat?!

Sega • After Burner / Super Hang-On LaserDisc [1987, Pony Canyon LaserVision]

A digital rip of an official LaserDisc home video release that featured the arcade versions of After Burner (or After Burner II) and Super Hang-On—a commercial longplay video created decades before YouTube longplays existed. Recorded via S-video and upscaled to 720p. Features complete edited playthroughs of both games along with supercuts and other additions to showcase some of the games' more interesting features.

Using a RetroTink to get stable signal from LaserDisc into HDMI for capture, or…?

Never owned a LaserDisc player up to this point? So LaserActive Works isn't on the immediate horizon :P On a serious note. Laserdiscs look better or worse more depending on the player than the media. Where basically any piece of digital media looks the same with minor differences due to encoders on say DVD or Blu-Ray. Laserdisc players can give wildly different results with the same disc and different players

Sort of. I used a Framemeister for this, but have since switched to RetroTink because tracking on old VHS tapes causes the FM to desync.
