Massive difference. It looks all muddy because of digital compression.
Youtube cranks up the compression when adjoining frames vary wildly, that's why the image archives are a tiled mess while the time lapses are excellent.
There's a few people working on this right now. In the last few years a group developed a device called the Domesday Duplicator to skim the raw analog modulation data out of a laserdisc and save it, resulting in a near-perfect copy of a stamped disc without any preprocessing by the player's electronics.
I have one disc. I know where another and possibly a third is. The Domesday Duplicator allows you to merge multiple captures to try and build a flawless copy. I have no timeline when that might become available as I am not associated with that project.
