MOD FILE EXTENSION

Hey guys, noticed you seemed to fix every other persons problem, so here's my problem;

I've got one of those fancy-pants JVC Hard Disk camcorder, and after getting the NCH video converter, I tried coverting to WMV's but this butchered the sound so I tried coverting them to AVI's, which keeps the sound quailty perfect.

However, after I imported the AVI file into Sony Vegas, there was no video or sound!

Vegas is far superior to Movie Maker in everyway so please help guys (or girls)!

I have to offer an ammendment to my previous comment. I downloaded the demo for PD6 and had no issues. When I purchased the upgrade, downloaded and installed the full version, I started getting burn errors again. One Cyberlink's forum, it was mentioned to try burn to a DVD folder somewhere on the hard drive instead of burning to a disc. I tried that and it worked. I then opened Nero to burn the files like I would any other DVD files and it successfully burned. This way adds another step, but I am glad to have something that works even though I had to pay more money to do so.

Hi all

Just use Adobe Premier Elements, you can bring in .mod files, etc. If you still have problems, capture the footage with the docking station via firewire and you will get one avi file. I use PE for all my editing, even can bring in .vob files and make slide shows.

tihi, you can capture the .mod files if you use the docking station. This will give you an avi file. I have done that.

Hello,

When I began using the prism video converter, I received a warning error that says incorrect timestamps found in the source file. Basically what I am trying to do is convert dvd from games to make a highlight dvd using windows movie maker...any suggestions?

Thank you

Hi Abby

I am no expert on this so at the very least it will bump our question.

I bought a JVC camera last Friday and have had all the problems mentioned above. I finally had enough after 3 DAYS of drama and took it back and got a sony. Hopefully it will be a more pleasant experience than JVC.

From memory the folder for video is SD (?)
Maybe direct them to camcorderinfo.com forum , there are specify forums by make. Otherwise tell them to take that junk back quick!! LOL

You other guys are great, I learned a lot reading here over the weekend, trying to sort the JVC mess out.
Never again will I buy JVC

Hi Abby, There was no installation disc for the camera that came with the camcorder. What they do give you is Cyberlink power producer and Cyberlink power director. That software will not help you to upload the files or find them.

When you plug your camera into the computer, the task manager should come up. When it does, it will give you choices for what you want to do with those files. Tell your grandparents to click on 'open files in folder' on your computer.

As soon as the file and folders come up, make a new folder and label it 'whatever'. To do this, right click, go to 'new' then 'folder' and name it. They should see 3 folders in front of them. One will be the folder that they just made, one will be SD files and one will be Ext. files. Then drag and drop both the SD files and the EXT files into the new folder. This is done so that all files will be in one central place.

Once you do that, open the folder back up and click on the SD files, then click on the program files. There you will find all of the .mod and .moi files. The next step is to convert them into a usable extension file.

If you unplug the camera during all this, you cannot access the files again until you upload something else. The hard drive that it places the folders in will disappear. (at least I couldn't find mine again...) Keep the camera on for as long as it takes to change the extension. After you've changed and saved the new extension files, then turn the camera off.

Hope that helps some:o)

My camera also came with Power Cinema that does allow for copying files from the camera to a computer. It's also supposed to burn the files to a disc, but we know that doesn't work.

The drive in the camera works like any other drive, zip drive, or anything else connected to a computer. It reads it just like another drive and should assign its own letter in Explorer in XP and above. When finding the drive letter, you can drag the files just like anything else.

Hi all

I am in Australia but I am sure the bundles come the same. I can definitely edit and burn to a dvd. I have already done it, without upgrading. Is that weird? I have both power director express and power producer. With Power director express you bring in your files and then you need to add them to the timeline, then you can burn to dvd directly.

Hi Carolyn

sorry, bit more info would have helped. I have a jvc GZ MG135, on a pc using xp, I bring them in with usb, do not changed them from .mod. I just capture and then put into timeline and then burn. I can also use the docking station if I want to capture as one combined large avi and then bring into adobe premier elements. I can make individual avi files if I want as well from each mod file. You must bring them though onto the timeline before you can do this. Otherwise, the areas are greyed out. I promise it works.

let me know everyone

Hi,
can anyone tell me what format to use in converting .mod files using Prism video converter so they can be played on a home dvd system ? I love the program but each cd I burn will not play on my dvd player only on my pc.

I guess i should mention I have CD-R and DVD +R disks that I can use to burn to .. my experiment of trying to get them to play on my home dvd has been to burn them on the DVD+R disks. I have not tried to burn them on a CD-R disk yet.

thanks

Melanie, what you're describing happened to a friend of mine too. I haven't made DVD's yet, as I do online vids instead. I will let someone who's actually making DVD's help you with this. (hopefully)

RL, I have no idea which reply you are interested in knowing more about. (that mass conversion listed above?) Please specify which one you're referring to and what exactly you don't understand.
