Slide 1: How to convert .mod to .mpg files on Mac OS? Converting .mod files captured with Sony,Panasonic, Canon and JVC camcorders to mpg, mov, mp4, dv, mpeg, flv, mkv, avi on Mac OS X. For those mac users who own a JVC Everio camcorder (such as JVC Everio GZ-MG330), it turns a nightmare to handle the damn .mod file on it. Although MOD video files are just modified MPEG-2 files with AC3 audio,iMovie,Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express and many other Mac video editors couldn't recognize it. The only way for it to work is to convert the MOD file to MPG/MPEG.(The program that came with the brand camcorders apparently can do this for you, but gives poor result for some reason.) Mac OS software to convert the mod footage to MPG and MPEG files Mod to mpg mac converter software apparently does a better job of converting JVC/Panasonic/Canon camcorder MOD mod files to mpg and it supports virtually any video formats including MOD, MKV, FLV, WMV, ASF, MPEG1, MPEG2, MP4, 3GP, 3G2, MOV, AVI, M2TS, MPEG TS/TP (for HD Video), M4V, etc. Mod to mpg converter for mac also can serve as a competent mod file editor for you to set encoding parameters like resolution, encoder, frame rate, video bitrate, ratio aspect(16:9 or 4:3), trim video, apply effects, merge video pieces together, etc.You can otherwise edit it with Final Cut Pro, iPhoto, iLife, Final Cut Express, iMovie HD,it depends. Now you are free to enjoy the high quality mpg video file on your mac or portable devices such as iPhone,iPod, Apple TV, Blackberry, PSP, Creative Zen, Archos. Note:before conversion from .mod file to .mpg/.mpeg, it is reportedly safe to rename the extension from .mod to .mpg or .mpeg.
