The Daphne/Singe captures are pretty much what happens if you play the laserdisc into an Elgato or similar capture device and save the resulting video. *Over-simplifying a bit but not a lot.
The new [https://github.com/simoninns/DomesdayDuplicator Domesday Duplicator ] captures MAME uses were captured directly from the laser in the laserdisc player and then converted into video and other data by software. Among other things, the software can take captures from multiple copies of the same disc and use data from one to fix places where the disc was scratched or smudged or dirty on another and end up with a perfect capture.
For Dragon's Lair, this took captures from 7 discs to end up at a perfect capture, because those discs got beaten on back in the day. Thayer's Quest took less.[https://old.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/1afdc9b/mame_0262/kofn7xh/]
