JVC Camcorder and their .MOD format
Hi!
I’m anticipating getting a pc that I can edit some video files. It will be a quad smething or other with 8 GB of memory an a terrabyte drive. I’m tired of trying to render a 5 minute video and it taking 30 minutes to save it to disc. I am also looking at a JVC camcorder but it saves files in the .mod format. Apparently, this format is not used in programs like vegas and I will have to convert it. Some internet sites say you can simply rename it .MPG Others say this wont work as 16:9 is rendered as 4:3 others say you will only get video this way, not audio. I am mightly confused! Will the .mod file work with vegas or should i look at another camera. I absolutely refuse to buy different cameras and pay restocking fees each time.Bullies don’t grow up. They just grow old.

Puzzle com my JVC but also found that com the Vegas 9 you can edit normally, Just do com he "sees" the files ".Mod ".
Window explorer, Click com right-click and select view all files. Drag to the timeline and ready. -
I’ve dropped .mod files on my Vegas timeline with no problems whatsoever.
I’ve also renamed them to .mpg and they’ve worked just fine.
BTW, I would never transcode these files (already a lossy format) to another lossy format (mp4) as you’ll lose even more quality by doing this.
