Trouble with MOD Files

Post by unforgiv3n82 »

I have a couple of MOD files in wich i'm working on, the thing is that when i play the files (in any player), the video IS JUST ABSOLUTE PERFECTION, BUT... when i load it on Sony Vegas to edit it, in some parts the image gets pixelated (about 1 second, 3 times in a clip of 7-8 minutes), but again i double and triple check the file on a media player, and the pixelation DOESN'T EXIST...

So my question is if anyone had experience with a similar problem,

Other thing, to load the MOD file into sony vegas, i change the file extension to MPG.

Is there such thing as a CODEC UPGRADE for Sony Vegas??

Hope you can help me out with this one.

Thanks,

René

Hi Rene, I know you can just rename the .MOD to .MPG (because technically it is a MPEG-2 file) however check out this converting program. below I checked on the latest version of Sony Vegas & it still does not support the .MOD file extension as of yet since JVC is the only one that uses it it is not that important to them I guess... hehehe..

What is it you are trying to edit with those files?.. also have you tried to work with it even though you see it pixelate it is possible when you save the file it will not be pixelated. good luck. : )

If I'm not mistaken, .MOD files are basically MPEGs. My JVC Everio films with those files...

So anyhow, I use a program called SDCopy that converts it from MOD to MPEG without any loss. Takes just a few minutes, and can save you a ton of headaches. Just make sure you choose the widescreen 16:9 flag!
