So anyone who has purchased a JVC Everio HDD video camera has probably learned that they chose to use some god forsaken proprietary video format – the .MOD extension. Apparently this is some sort of MPEG2 encoding, however, most major video editing suites prefer not to accept this format… what we need is something more common… such as .AVI or .MPG. I would be happy with the .MOD file format if the software that came with the JVC Everio actually worked. I’ve tried creating multiple DVD’s using the PowerDVD software with no luck so far, it’ll get halfway through the process, and then something will fail.
MOD are informal names of tapeless video formats used by JVC and Panasonic in some models of digital camcorders. Neither JVC nor Panasonic explained meaning of this file extensions. Standard definition video is stored in MPEG-2 program stream container files with MOD extension; in most other systems these files have extension MPG or MPEG. MOD video can be watch on a computer with a player that is capable of reproducing MPEG-2 video. But if you want to recompress them to other formats for future use or to play on your portable device, a MOD Converter
is necessary.
Here I suggest a program called iCoolsoft MOD Converter for Mac.This converter has a powerful converting function that can transform JVC camcorder MOD videos to AVI, WMV, MP4, MOV, FLV, and other popular formats on Mac OS X. Besides, you can take a snapshot to your favorite scene. You can also make a effect to your video including trim, renaming, cropping and adding watermark. It also supports merge function. You can merge two or more videos into one, and then you can give it an ideal name. All the actions making you a professional director is not a difficult thing any more.
Then let us discuss how to use the MOD Converter for Mac . You will find it is easy to operate.
Step 1. After installing the software, click the button ‘Add File’ to add the file you want to convert. You can add one or more files.
Step 2. If you want to edit, crop, trim, even merge the files, just click the corresponding button.
Step 3. Select the format you want to output in the list of “Profile” and specify a folder in a disc that you want to store the file.
Step 4. Click the “Convert” button.
I hope this helps! And below is some camcorder Types recorded *.mod format:
