Hi,
I just purchased a JVC everio camcoder which produces .MOD and .MOI files. I tried to import these files onto my new iMac and found out that the software program iMovie is not importing the files and also can not read the files. I do use no firewire but a normal USB cable. Could this be the problem?? ![]() |

From Wikipedia:
"MOD is also the file extension for the video file format used on many camcorders, such as the JVC Everio, and the Panasonic D-Snap SD-card camcorders. It appears that you can just rename the MOD file extension to MPG as it appears to be a standard MPEG-2 file. Then the file is compatible with players and other software tools that can read Dolby AC-3 Surround Stereo encoding." In other words, those files are normal mpegs with silly proprietary extensions. I'd still keep a copy on the camera or make a backup just to make sure changing the file extension works. |

Unfortunately, I'm stupid and that fix was only for playback compatibility. To get the file into iMovie you need it in .dv format, which the free MPEG Streamclip or the simpler shareware DropDV will do for you.
Open your .dom file, and select File>Export to DV... Not the prettiest fix, but it (supposedly) works. Last edited by mdmunoz; 02-21-2007 at 04:22 PM. |

Final Cut also uses QuickTime, so it won't do any better than iMovie. Also, for you, spending the cash for Final Cut is wayyy overkill.

Pour tout ceux qui galèrent depuis des mois à chercher la solution la plus efficace, la plus pratique et la plus rapide :
- pour récupérer les fichiers .mod de sa caméra - pour les convertir en mpeg, en mov, en dv, en flv, ... - pour les renommer avec le nom de la date des vidéos - pour conserver la date de création des fichiers convertis afin d'obtenir un classement chronologique dans idive et d'utiliser la fonction si pratique du calendrier pour ses vidéos et tout cela automatiquement, j'ai réalisé un logiciel à l'aide d'applescript studio en convertissant à l'aide de ffmpeg. Les résultats sont impressionnants et j'en suis complètement satisfait. Plus besoin de codecs, d'imovie, de quicktime... Tout est automatique, il suffit de selection le type de format désiré et le répertoire de destination, iVerio se charge du reste. Les vidéos obtenues sont compatibles aussi bien avec Mac, PC ou Linux. Après 6 mois passés à chercher une solution pour récupérer mes vidéos, iVerio est l'application idéale et indispensable à ce jour à tout possesseur de Mac et de caméra à disque dur. Pour plus de renseignements rendez-vous sur iverio.alwaysdata.net. |

Have a look on the site http://www.convertmod.com
You can find there a software utility for JVC Everio camcorders that convert .mod and .tod files automatically |
