FS100 camera and other similar cameras record their movies as .MOD
files. A question thus arises, what’s MOD format, how to play MOD files
on Computer?
.MOD files are actually MPEG-2 files with AC3
audio, similar to a VOB file on a DVD or the M2T files used on Sony
hard drive camcorders, this video file format is used on many digital
camcorders, such as the JVC Everio, the Canon FS100 and the Panasonic
D-Snap SD-card camcorders. For playback, I liked the VLC player the
best. An alternative player is MPlayer (but it played my movies rather
slow).

windows media player, windows movie maker and iPod, iPhone, PSP, Zune,
Creative Zen, Blackberry, etc portable MP3 MP4 Players, Cell Phone, so
