I'm trying to archive a laser disc as a digital file. My laser disc player (a Pioneer) has 2 video output options: RCA and a 15-pin port labelled "interface connector". The 15 pins are arranged in 2 rows. After researching video connectors, I think the 15-pin port is VGA. What would be the higher resolution output for creating a digital recording?

The 'interface connector' is (almost certainly) a serial control port, not a video output. LVD stored composite analog video, so there are no chroma or difference signals available to assist in digitizing the video.

So for my device, it doesn't matter whether RCA or VGA has better video quality, because my device only has RCA. Is that correct?– CrowderMar 19, 2014 at 21:09

You didn't give us the model number, so I can't be positive, but I've never seen a Pioneer LVD player that had VGA output, and I'm very familiar with the Pioneer 15-pin serial control port, so I'm pretty confident that you don't have VGA (or any component) outputs. That just leaves the RCA composite video out.– Jim MackMar 19, 2014 at 21:20

Pioneer CLD-V2400. Looks like you're right. The 15-pin connector is listed under "Other", separate from "Video output" above, leading me to believe that it is not a video output port. I think this confirms your intuition. pioneerelectronics.com/pio/pe/images/portal/cit_3424/…– CrowderMar 19, 2014 at 21:40
