Convert Christmas MOD footage shot by JVC, Panasonic and Canon camcorder
Christmas holiday is the ideal time for families and friends to gather together to enjoy each other’ company, or have a travel to relax and reduce the work pressure of the whole year. There has never been a better time to have great funs with your family and friends, and go outside to some cold and snowy travel destinations for skiing and snowboarding, or go to some warm and sunny islands and beaches to enjoy the sunshine if you want a change from the cold and wintry weather. No matter what ideas you have, record all the meaningful happy moment of your Christmas break is absolutely a wonderful thing. I guess many of you own the popular JVC, Panasonic, and Canon mod camcorder, which record the footage in the format of .mod, not a popular video format as .mp4 or .avi.
I’ve specially looked up this item in Wikipedia, and it gives an explanation like this: "MOD and TOD are recording formats for use in digital tapeless camcorders. The formats are comparable to XDCAM EX and AVCHD. MOD and TOD are informal names of tapeless video formats used by JVC (MOD and TOD), Panasonic (MOD only) and Canon (MOD only) in some models of digital camcorders. Format names correspond to extensions of video files. Neither JVC nor Panasonic, who pioneered the format, explained meaning of the file extensions, and the formats were never given an official name. MOD is used exclusively for standard definition video files, while TOD is used for high definition files."
Because almost all the popular multimedia players or video editors have no native supports to .mod format, if you want to make them to do other use, you have to convert this format to other common video format in advance. At that time, Pavtube MOD Converter should be a nice choice to help you accomplish this goal. The detailed user guide will be shown to you as below.
Step 1: Download, install and run Pavtube MOD Converter
Step 2: Import .mod files, select output format and specify save path
Click "Add" button to load your recorded MOD files to this program, and select whatever formats you need from the drop-down list of "Format". If you want to play on your cell phone, you can select 3GP; to play on iPod or iPhone, you can select MP4; to share online, you can select FLV. Meanwhile, press output folder to specify where to locate the output files, or you can use the store path set by default. Furthermore, suppose you need to join several .mod files to be as a single file, you can check "Merge into one file" to realize it.
Step 3: Set advanced settings:
You are allowed to do some advanced settings according to your own requirements. In this section, you are able to set parameters for output video, the bigger value, the better quality, but the larger size.
