This is the complete video of the "LaserDisc - How It Works" product demonstration featuring Don "Mr. Wizard" Herbert.
Technical aspects:
The video has been taken from the original LaserDisc, played on a Pioneer LD-660 LaserDisc Player. Video output was CVBS (composite). This video was captured using a Dell video capture device on a Dell Dimension 4600 running Windows XP. MediaPortal was the software used to perform the video capture. A conversion utility was employed to remux the DVR-MS file into a proper MPEG2 file. The MPEG2 file is then transferred to my MacBook Pro where, with the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 playback component and MPEG Streamclip, the MPEG2 file is deinterlaced, scaled from 720x480 to 640x480, and transcoded into an MEPG4 H.264 file.
This video made with Windows/made on a Mac.

@mig189189189 cool thing is that DVD's and CD's work the same way. Blue Ray too just that the laser is blue.
