Convert .MOD to .MOV (16:9)

Trying to convert a .MOD file to .MOV. Client gave me SD chip with raw files (shot SD 16:9). AME only recognizes the source as 4:3. Don't see any preferences or settings to force "Source" to 16:9. Don't think Export settings will fix this. Have tried several combinations and it just does weird stuff to the output. Any ideas? (Using CS4 AME 4.2.0.006 on Mac OX 10.6.8)

I believe that Interpret Footage was added sometime in the CS5 timeframe and is not in AME CS4. Interpret Foortage is in Premiere Pro CS4, though, if you have that installed. You could also download the AME CS6 trial if you needed to get this done before your copy of CS6 arrives.

Convert mod files to mov for imovie

A helpful person on the forum suggested I use mod converter to convert mod files to mov for imovie. I have purchased the program from the internet but am having trouble getting them to respond with registration number so as I can get started. Has anyone had this problem or do you know the telephone number for emisoft which is who I purchased it from.

wuppet, it is unfortunate that this method did not work for you... I have tested this method my self with iMovie 08 & 09 with JVC .mod files.
I can really only suggest a few things:
1. Make sure that you are changing the .mod extension to .mpg, as I am sure that you did.
2. Attempt to get the originals from the camera, if they're still on the camera. I know that you say that they're the wrong format but iMovie 08 and 08 both support the .mod files found in JVC hybrid cameras. But make sure that iMovie is opened and running before you attach the camera to the Mac. Also make sure that the camera is set to "playback on PC" once you plug it in.
3. You can download the free VLC app, this will allow you to view the movies to verify that they're not corrupt somehow. You'll be required to change the extension to .mpg or .mpeg for this app to read the movies.

Converting .mod files and starting a new project

Hi all
I have just purchased Premiere Pro CS5 which is an upgrade from Elements 4 for me. I just want to make sure I'm moving in the right direction as I'm not really technically savvy and am still trying to get my head around all the terms, differences etc.
Basically I have a JVC Everio which gives me .mod files. I have downloaded MPEG Streamclip as per recommendation on this and previous forums. I want to make sure
Should I be converting .mod files to .avi or should I be converting to a different format?
I have recorded my video in widescreen and want to make video watchable on Australian TV. When I use MPEG streamclip it offers me a plethera of choice which confuses me. At the moment I have selected the following:
When I first select the Mod file I'm given an option to choose a task. I have selected "Export to AVI".
NB: I also have the choice to "Convert to MPEG with MP2 Audio" and "Export to DV" plus a number of other options with terminology which doesn't look familiar at all. Thought it best to stay away from these ones!
Once I have selected "Export to AVI" do I select "Fix timecode breaks"? I'm not sure what this means.
Finally:
Compression
Apple DV - Pal
Quality = 100%
DV Options
Scan Mode = Interlaced
Aspect Ratio = 16:9
Sound
MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, kHz=Auto, 256 kbps
Frame Size
do I select "1024 x 576 (16:9)" or "720x 576 (DV-Pal)", there are other options which I can list if you need the information
Frame Rate
This has been left blank and I have not selected "Frame Blending" or "Better Downscaling"
Deselect for progressive movies
I have Interlaced scaling and Reinterlace Chroma selected but deinterlace video remains unticked
Field Dominance
Lower Field First
Once all my files are converted and I open Premiere Pro CS5 what settings should I be selecting for the best output to DVD for Australian television? I get so confused with all the options!!
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Are you converting your .mod files to .mpg or .m2v?
Cheers
no conversion at all, i just changed the file extension by typing it as .mpg, thats all.
when you import the clip, if it is 16x9 you have to interpret it... when you import it rightclick the file and choose this...
then this...
(or just set it up how it should be set up, if teh PAR is different from mine shown, but you get the idea)
but here's a fun one. i was messing around with cs5.5, and low and behold... it edits .mod natively now! guess adobe finally got enough people beating the door down. now i really need to update... but i may just hold out for cs6... decisions....

IVerio for converting MOD files??

Hi,
I have been looking through this forum up and down for decent suggestions regarding MOD files from a newly purchased JVC Everio camcorder. I am using iMovie6 and MOD files will not work the conventional way like miniDV etc. Should've bought a DV camera but too late now!
The problem I see is that while there are many programs that will convert MOD files for use in iMovie 6, it seems the quality of the finished video clip is not very good. I have searched and found a program called iVerio. I have tested it (free trial) and it seems pretty good - quality not lost too much, although some of the feedback from some users leave me with a doubt of how good it really is? Before parting with $60 (AUST) I would be interested if anyone has used this program and how they found the results?
All in all, my real problem is finding a good program to convert and use MOD file for iMovie 6 without losing the video quality. Is there a newer version of iMovie that recognizes MOD files? This would be the perfect way - saving all the converting etc.
Thanks in advance
John

thanks but i have checked out my camera model with imovie 8 and 9 and it's not named, so it may not be compatible. although if the mod files on on the computer, will they just be able to import to imovie? instead of going from the camera to imovie direct.
also the program choices are fine to convert files i have now but the quality seems to affect the movies, iverio seems ok just wanted to know if anyone else has used this or a similar program that won;t affect this quality.
thanks
John

Converting MOD files to play on iPod?

I'm not sure what programs I can use to convert .mod movie files to play on my iPod. Is iTunes capable of doing .mod files? I've also had a history of trying to convert other files using iTunes and not getting the files to transfer to the iPod properly, although I will try again if iTunes will convert the file.
Windows XP Pro

I have never been able to get Handbrake to recognize many file formats, at least not the version that runs on Tiger.
MPEGStreamclip; you need to export the file. I don't have an ipod so I don't know what format.
My feeling is that you might get more concrete assistance if you asked this on an ipod forum. At least there everybody will likely own one. On the other hand they may therefore also be able to afford the newest computers and tell you to run something on a newer OS.

Converted .wmv to .mov will no longer play in quicktime

I have converted .wmv to .mov using the quicktime 7.6.4 save as feature and saved them to an external WD hard drive. They have been playing fine for months until yesterday, now i have a black quicktime screen, no sound or audio as the file plays, all that I have changed recently is that i have updated Flip4mac from 2.3.3.2 to 2.3.3.3 and updated Safari to version 4.1. I have run an Onyx maintenance scrypt and disc utility to try a repair a possible permissions or disc error, still no luck. I read an article on the Flip4mac site that suggested I export the file in quicktime, this has not worked. When viewing the files info it states the files codecs are windows media audio 9 standard*, windows media video 9 standard". After reading some other posts I installed Perian, but still no luck. If anyone can help to get these movie files operational again please advise.

I got an answer on the macformat forum that works, refer the attached link

How do I convert wmv to mov files for fcp?

I have tried a couple of different conversion programs to convert a wmv file to mov or mp4, and all seem to result in a viewable mp4, but when I import into final cut and try to put the footage into my sequence, it won't render. The sound renders, but the video remains "unrendered." I'm using a Pro res 422 sequence. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix the problem?
Thanks

I have a revision a imac g5 with the same problem with only macbreak podcast. I know leo laporte said that the podcast was done in 1080p and my computer with its built in 64 megabyte graphics card might have trouble with this podcast but your machine must have a better graphics card than mine. 1080p requires at least 128 megabytes of graphics memory built in. My machine played this podcast on quicktime fine until they came out with the update to quicktime last week or two ago. I was going to upgrade my memory until I came accross your story and your machines doing the same thing with much better specs. I think it might be the quicktime update that is causing a problem. Maybe Leo will talk about this problem since he is doing a mac show about macs.

How to convert mpeg to .mov format

I am trying to upload a 3 minute movie clip to attach to an e-mail document. I converted it to mpeg. However, it is 59 mg and thus, too big to upload. After reading some of the posts on this site, I thinks that I must convert it to .mov in order for it to upload. Am I understanding this correctly?
Note that I don't want to compress the video so that it is of poor quality. If this is the procedure, how do I convert my mpeg file to .mov?
Note that I used Streamclip to do the conversion from the dvd.

Here you go. In this example, we've taken a short video and dumped into a folder we've created on our desktop called "yourvideo." Now, follow these steps to encrypt your video, upload it and get a download link you can email to others.
1) Open SimplyRar, and drag and drop the yourvideo folder into the application's window. It will appear as shown below:

2) Tick the password protect box at bottom and enter a password for your file as shown below:
http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/8799/25ry.jpg
3) Click on the "create rar" icon on the upper left and a box will open asking you where to save your new file, as shown below. In this example, I named the rar yourvideo and saved it to my desktop:

4) Once the process is complete, you can close the SimplyRar application:

5) Now go to www.rapidshare.de and select "choose file." Navigate to your file and select it, as shown below:

6) Click on the upload button, and your screen will show you the upload status (this is in Safari):
http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/6707/63yn.jpg
7) Once the upload is complete, you'll get this page. Locate the link as shown below. It is the active link you would send to friends in order for them to access your video file. Remember, they will also need the password you chose to .rar the file.

Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

Converting purchased Lost movie from my APPLE to my PC.

Can anyone help? I use a Apple computer and a windows computer. I purchase the first and second seasons of LOST on my Apple computer. I would like to play them on my PC. IS THIS POSSIBLE WITHOUT PURCHASING FROM MY PC?
Seems like I should be able to convert from a .MOV to whatever format the Windows plays them in. I am not even shure what format the Windows uses if you download a movie from ITUNES.
Thanks in advance, Dave.

DRM stand for Digital Rights Management - all iTMS purchases are drm'ed, preventing those files to be converted.
The files itself are the same regardless if bought using a mac or a windoze PC - just transfer those files.
