How to convert MOD and TOD files generated by JVC camcorders？
As far as I know, JVC camcorder users are always troubled by MOD and TOD files that generated by their dear JVC, because the two formats usually can not be accepted directly by most video players or editors. If you want to enjoy these video files on your Local PC or portable devices, or even do some further editing with Movie Maker or other video editing software, you have to convert them to some other common formats previously. Video conversion seems troublesome, right? Do not be worried, this guide will lead you to break through it via Pavtube TOD Converter step by step.
Just follow it, now let’s start!
Step 1: Download, install and run Pavtube TOD Converter
Step 2: Import video files, select output format and specify store path
Add your recorded MOD or TOD 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. Further more, suppose you need to join several files to be one, 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.
Step 4: Convert
Pavtube provides you a friendly interface while converting, and all the conversion info can be found out in the following window, like total progress, the time have spent, the file size have been generated, as well as the possible left time and the entire size probably produced during the conversion.

About MOD and TOD:
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.
