Anyone who has purchased a JVC Everio HDD video camera has probably learned that
they chose to use some god forsaken proprietary video format - the .MOD
extension.
Apparently this is some sort of MPEG2 encoding, however, most
major video editing suites prefer not to accept this format… what we need is
something more common… such as .AVI or .MPG. I would be happy with the .MOD file
format if the software that came with the JVC Everio actually worked.
I have
tried many video converters software with no luck so far, it’ll get halfway
through the process, and then something will fail.
Now a type of converter
called
Mod
Converter appears. Here I want to share the one regarded as the best on
the market by most people. I also want to share the instructions about how to
use it.
Step 0: Free download
4easysoft Mod Converter and install it.
Step 1: Run
4Easysoft Mod Converter and load your Mod/Tod files.
Step 2: Setup
the output profile and the output file path.
Step 3: Start
conversion
After you set all the settings, you can click “Start” to start
conversion.
With this powerful converter, you can convert
Mod to
WMV,
Mod to
3GP,
Mod to
FLV,
Mod to
iPod,etc.
Tips:
1: How to split your
video
The "Trim" function also servers as a video splitter for you to get
any time-length video episode. You can set the "Start Time" and "End Time" to
set the time of the clip or you can directly drag the slide bar to the accurate
position.
2: How to crop off
the black edges and adjust the size of video play region
By using the
"Crop" function you can crop the black edge of your video and you can also drag
the line around the video image to adjust the video play region to fit for your
mobile devices.
3: How to join your
file pieces
If you want to merge several files into one file you can
choose them and click the "Merge into one file" to do it.
4: How to save
your favorite picture
If you like the current image when preview video,
you can use the "Snapshot" option. Just click the "Snapshot" button the image
will be saved and you can click the "Open" button next to "Snapshot" button to
open your picture.
Now you can edit and convert your Mod/Tod videos to
regular video formats. You can upload them onto YouTube, Myspace and so on to
share them with your friend and other people.
