How does one get the best picture quality out of a composite video source?
with a capture card or dvd recorder
I personally would just capture it as-is, but make sure it's uncompressed (or high bitrate).
You really can't do much to improve it (many filters to remove things like chroma-dots will only soften the picture).
If it's Never The Same Colour (NTSC), make sure you have the hue right. That's really all you can do.

Thanks, but I mainly mean for real-time viewing. Some of my laserdiscs I intend to capture digitally, but most are already available in superior digital (U)HD formats. I still like to watch them for the novelty of watching an analog video format on an LP-sized disc, but the scaler in my HDTV is really awful.

i'd probably pick up an old crt sdtv if you want to play the laserdiscs in realtime

If you want the full novelty, try and pick up a cheap second hand CRT from the classifieds.
Anything post-CRT will butcher the picture of a composite source.

I've got a PVM, but it's way too small to watch movies on.
Maybe I could get an old analog projector, because a CRT big enough to watch movies on would take up far too much space.

I personally just use a 34cm one.
It's one of the sizes which would have been prevalent when laserdiscs were still a thing.
Maybe aim for a 51cm one.
Televisions aren't meant to be 6m wide and 4m tall. All picture is gonna look shit at that size.

Open it up, bypass composite and get the raw RGB, record it with capture card.

not going to do much if anything, laserdisc stores a an analog composite stream on the disc itself

Are you some kind of retarded?

Get a Laserdisc player with a good composite video out, and a television with a good composite video decoder.
