Can Mookid still convert Polavsion phototape type 608 cassettes to DVD?

you need an old fasion tape player and a program like magic audio cleaning lab or on pc program that will convert your tape (Analog ) to digital (MP3). Then just plug a lead from your tapplayer into the AUX of your computer and run the pc program which will load the cassttee on to a digital file. Then using the same program just burn the file to dvd as a mpg3 file.

Polavision is a totally dead instant movie system which was discontinued over thirty years ago. If you can still find any original unused film cassettes they will very likely be useless even if they have been kept refrigerated for all of that time. Whether the camera will work reliably on your hard to get film will also be highly questionable.

Unless boxed and in absolutely mint condition, complete with all original accessories, the camera is utterly worthless. If it is in factory fresh condition then it's still likely to be near-worthless unless collectors are competing to buy it.

As you plan to convert any film you shoot to a digital format anyway, you'll be far better off using a modern digital video camera and then using software to create the old amateur home movie look that you want.

sorry to tell,you should change the dvd rw newly instead of old


Hope it will help you.

Open "My Computer".
Click with the RIGHT mouse-button on the icon for the CD/DVD drive.
Choose 'Explore'.
If your DVD drive is working, some files/folders should be displayed.

Are you using the free 'VLC' software to play your DVD-movie?
If not, search for VLC online, download it, and use it to "play" the movie.

Hi Alan,

We don't sell equipment here. I would suggest aone of the larger chain stores that carry it. In their electronics department, there is a section for various cable types

Best regards

What lovely memories must be stored. I am quite happy to offer my services to convert these movies to DVD. Whilst most companies would not touch Polavision cassettes, I am able to do this no problem.  Please contact me regarding quantity, etc. and I will give you a reasonable offer. 

The laser that reads the dvd needs re-calibrating.
