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.)
