The PRISM converter WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/plus.html

I converted the annoying Sony .mpg file to a .wmv file, and then I imported the .wmv file into Windows Movie Maker and IT WORKS!!!!!!!!

Forget the .modd files. They are just for the timeline in the sony software. All you need is the .mpg file.

I have a JVC GZ-MG330 with the hard drive. My PC is a Dell with 64 bit Vista. My software CD will not load and JVC said it was probably because of the 64 bit processor.

I did manage to transfer the videos in .MOD format onto my PC. They are viewable in both Windows Media Player and Windows Movie-maker. I recorded the videos in 16:9 format and they look great on the HDTV in 16:9 format, on the PC monitor always appears squeezed horizontally as it is being shown in 4:3 mode (on both Media Player and Moviemaker).

JVC said if I opened both the PC and the JVC HD, I could drag and drop and this would retain the 16: format, but it did not work.

I also got additional files with the .MOI extension. My monitor is also a widescreen Dell and it is set for 16:9 display.

How do I get my PC files to be viewed in 16:9 format?

Cain, I did everything you suggested (downloaded wmp 2.6, cccp codec, & SD copy)so now i get picture and sound in windows media player with my .mod files and the converted .mpg files. However when i use windows movie maker 2.6 i cannot import the .mod files (which is fine) but am able to import the .mpg files, however, I am able to see the thumbnails and hear audio but there's no picture.
please help

I was using a friend's Panasonic HDD cam to record his wedding proposal. When I download to my Macbook I can't open the .MOD and MOI files. I need to edit the clips. How can I convert the file for Mac to read and open in QuickTime player?

I have a JVC GZ-MG77AS Camcorder. Whatever I tried with my recordings, I am not able to convert the MOD files to MPEG2, AVI etc and even when I play in the computer, it plays file by file and not continuously in sequence. Anybody can help?

Thanks for the Prism converter. I found it worked with MPG fine.

It also works with AVI, but you may have to go to http://www.nch.com.au/components/ to grab the plugins. If you use the microsoft video 1 plugin to convert to avi had no problems.

Been looking for something like this for a while because of the JVC Video Camera we have. Shame they choose a format that is so difficult to work with but great we have people making these wonderful programs to help us out as well as the people who find them! Cheers :)

How do you turn the volume up on your JVC Everio? I can't hear anything when I playback any of my recordings!

During replay of video using the camera view screen the audio doesn't work. Suggestions on turning audio back on?

I have a Canon FS100, I film skateboarding and use Vegas movie studio 9.0 to edit my videos. It works great but the only problem is that there's no audio to the video.

Whenever I plug my video camera into the computer it is recognized as removable disk F and you can open it and look at all your videos. And when you click on one of the videos it opens in windows media player and has sound!

I tried using the prism converter and various others but they don't work. what should I do?

How do you edit the movies using windows movie maker, whenever I try to import the video, it says "the file MOD is not a supported file.

Henry, I tried to use Movie Maker as well. It doesn't work with the .MOD files. Forget about Movie maker, have a look at all the posts in this thread - there are heaps of solutions. I use Cyberlink Power Director Express. It has worked fantastically for me for more than 3 years.

It's probably difficult to get freeware, but I guess you can if you try. The sweetness of cheap price will be gone quickly if it doesn't work. The latest edition of Cyberlink is truly sensational.

By the way, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, I have absolutely no connection with Cyberlink, and am not sponsored or paid to say that, and it was only that the camera came with the software, that I learned to use it.

I have a Panasonic SDR-h18 and accidentally deleted my videos. I have used pctools to recover but I ended up with 966 files instead of the 5 I had on the camera. Is there a way to recover the files in their original form?

having the same problem here.

Bought a panasonic S26. Goes perfectly. The MOD file can be dragged out from the SD Card onto the pc's desktop.

But, once there, it's essentially useless. It will not play even after an attempt to convert it.

And, of course, Window's Movie Maker will not accept it at all.
