Sony Video Information/Summary File
This file is used to store information on video taken with various Sony Camcorder models. This file is reported to accompany a .m2ts file (See links section below).
The mysterious .MODD file appears to contain information regarding dates and time-lines related to your recording. Attempts to delete these files in order to improve video archiving have resulted in loss of time-line data and some claim to have experienced a loss of audio data.
can sumone help ?
when it is downloaded on my computer.
I can playback(hear and see) the clips using Sony's video
browser.
Their is no audio when I use anything other that Sony browser to playback the clips
My friend emailed a movie clip using a Sony Handycam with the file extension .modd. I'm unable to open and view. Don't know if she can convert the file so I can view it.
Can anyone help?
That worked for me to be able to view, edit and save with Movie Maker.
I asked some friends and they suggested purchasing Sony's editing program because they tend to configure their products to only work with their own. Honestly, I like to keep things simple and WMM is the perfect program for me for editing... HELP!
Also under my "manipulate" menu there is not a convert tab.
I don't know if I have a more recent version of PMB as I just bought this camera. Check your version then we can see if the "Manipulate -> Convert to WMV" is new.
Here's a screen shot of what it looks like (with Convert to WMV highlighted) --> www.theindoorrange.com/PMB.jpg
Don't worry about the .MODD files, leave 'em alone. Work with the mpegs.
Allyson - Have you tried saving the Project prior to saving the Movie? When I import the mpeg into WMM, I get audio but no visual. I have to convert them to WMV first.
Sony's software is proprietary and not easy to work with outside the "Realm of Sony". However, I like their products and until I cannot find a way around their software, I'll keep using it.
I also like the ease and familiarity of WMM but have been contemplating Ulead --> www.ulead.com/vs/runme.htm
Manipulate > Convert to WMV and Save
I was told that this option exists, even given a screenshot, but my (version) Picture Motion Browser has nothing like that under Manipulate.
Either that, or maybe someone here can suggest to me how i can either:
1) Convert out of .modd/.mpg format to make my video a different format so i can put into another video editing program to do work on it.
2) Find a program that tolerates .modd/.mpg and permit editing of that particular video.
I'm not looking to do any spectacular form of editing, just clipping/adding Fade effect.
TMPGEnc tolerates the .modd/.mpg format but does not have a fade in/out feature. Windows Movie Maker on the other and rejects that file extension.
Thanks for any help.
