It certainly can't do that, because LaserDisc is not
covered by Red Book.  It's not even digital data.
LaserDisc video is analogue.  You definitely need a
real LaserDisc player for this.

(You could, of course, try to borrow a LaserDisc player
from somewhere, then digitize the video with a Bt848
card and make an MPEG from it.)
