Playing MOD on Mac?

chronic777 posted 2008 Aug 26 05:53

I have been given MOD files (Mpeg2 from camcorder) & i need to play them on my mac? I have tried renaming files, downloading VLC, Mpegstreamclip, WMP, & none of it works. On my PC at home they play in WMP fine & open in Vegas (for editing) fine aswell, there must be a simple way to play these on mac without opening in Vegas & resaving as MP4? Thanks in advance for any help...

From filext.com: JVC .MOD file format : Extension: MOD JVC Everio Digital Video File Specific Notes: JVC stores the video in files with a .MOD extension which are standard MPEG-2 VOB files with Dolby Digital sound. Third-party editing applications should be able to edit them. At present time what can translate these on a mac? answer: Use either JVC's proprietary software included on CD with the camera, or use Drop DV, $39 US.

Apple's MPEG2 component ($20 IIRC) plus MPEG Streamclip (free). Convert to anything else through that app, if desired.

terryj : or use DropDV, $39 US. I'm not sure that this soft can do the job (because of the camcorder field order , not-compatible with dv field order) Mpegstreamclip will do it correctly bye
