About MOD and TOD files:
Both MOD and TOD are the informal tapeless video formats produced by certain digital camcorders. And both of them have never been given to any meaning explanations or official names by their creators JVC or Panasonic. The differences between them lie in: MOD are used by JVC, Panasonic, and Canon in some models of camcorders, such as JVC GZ-MG130, GZ-MS100U, GZ-MG255, Panasonic SDR-SW20, SDR-SW21, SDR-S26, Canon FS100, FS200, FS21 and so on, while TOD is only used by JVC camcorders, like JVC GZ-HD7, GZ-HD5, GZ-HD6, GZ-HD30, and GZ-HD40; Moreover, MOD is only used for standard definition video files, while TOD is exclusively used for high definition video files.

Canon FS200 to WMV Converter
You got a Canon FS200 Camcorder and had a hell of a time trying to import the MOD file into your computer. You are running Vista/XP/Window7 and mod file isn’t compatible. Is there an easier workflow to convert mod files into a better format for use on windows?
Canon FS200 and Canon FS20 camcorders are small flash memory based, standard definition, consumer grade camcorder that records "MOD" format video files. However, Windows Media Player cannot deal with them directly - and neither can Apple QuickTime.
Maybe you are able to get the MOD files from the Canon camcorder to the computer - but you just can't play or edit them. Windows Movie Maker cannot deal with MOD files.
The easiest way to deal with these MOD files is to convert them to something else, first.
Canon FS200 to WMV Converter is one of many video converters that can convert the Canon FS200/Canon FS20 MOD file into something your players can use (Windows Media Player likes AVI or WMV files; QuickTime likes MOV or MP4 files). Canon FS200 to WMV Converter also can convert from Canon FS200/FS20 .mod files to WMV, AVI, MPG, MP4, MOV, 3GP, RM, FLV, SWF for uploading and playback on Windows 7, Vista and XP.
If you want to edit the video in MovieMaker, WMV is probably your best bet.
Whether you want to edit avchd(.m2ts.mts,.ts) video,edit avchd files, join avchd files, trim avchd videos, crop avchd videos, apply special effects or import AVCHD files directly from popular camcorders into iMovie,Final Cut for editing, this avchd editor for mac will satisfy all your needs to creat high quailty avchd movie. terryhao - Thu Apr 29, 2010 1:45 am Post subject: How to rotate AVI, MPEG, DivX, MOV, WMV, 3GP videos on mac ?rotate video on mac
