How to use .mod files from a JVC camcorder?

Hi All,
I'm trying to find the proper workflow for using .mod files from a JVC Everio model camcorder. I was able to transfer the files onto my system by simply using the included usb cable from the unit. It simply mounted the camera's flash card on my desktop and I was able to drag all of the files from it.
As others have posted, the .mod files are not accessible using the Import function in FCP. I am able to open them with MPEGStreamClip as other have suggested. My question is, how should the files be converted to use with FCP and/or DVDSP? In MPEGStreamclip the file shows the video stream as: 224 MPEG-2, 720 × 480, 16:9, 29.97 fps, 8.40 Mbps, upper field first. I tried a few of the demux functions. The straight demux to .m2v & .ac3 yields a file that opens in QT, but it shows up as a 640x480 file and is noticably squeezed. Using the demux unscaled yields a file that opens in QT as a 720x480 file and looks somewhat better. And using the demux to headed yields as file that opens in QT as 720x404 and presumably is the correct 16:9 ratio.
Trying to use those same files in DVDSP didn't get me very far. If I create a new HD project in DVDSP I can import the straight demuxed file and the headed file. The unscaled file won't import. If I add the imported files to tracks the straight demuxed one will play in the simulator but the headed one simply shows a green screen.
I'm hoping that since MPEGStreamclip can play the files, its just a question of figuring out the proper export/conversion settings. My end goal is to produce a dvd of the footage (not exactly sure if I should be using an HD project or a SD project set to letterbox). I also need to produce a web-ready version of the footage. I haven't tried this yet but I'm assuming that one of the QT exports from MPEGStreamclip will get this done correctly.
Hopefully someone has a workable solution for these files.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi all,
I looked further on this forum and found others that had the same problem. One suggested connecting the cam corder first, then start iMovie, then wait for a few minutes. I did this and it worked!!!!!
Problem solved.
Thanks.

Converting a .mod file from a JVC camcorder

I have a JVC camcorder that records video in .mod files (their own format). Does anyone know how I can strip the audio from these files to play them on my iphone? Thanks.

.mod files from my JVC Camera!?

Hi, I was wondering if anybody could help me with playback of the .mod files on my Macintosh generated by my JVC Camera. I have purchased the MPEG-2 codec for Quick Time 7.x from Apple Store, but that did not seem to help much. Now I am able to play the movie (when I re-name the extension to .mpeg!), but cannot hear any sound!
If anybody would be able to give me any advise on how to sort out my problem I would greatly appreciate the input.
Thx!!!

Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to export to QuickTime file formats.
Export to DV Stream to use the file with iMovie.
Return the camera or exchange it for a DV (tape) version if you really want to edit your videos.
Don't use an email address as a screen name here. You'll get lots of spam in the next few weeks as your email is sent in the clear and "bots" can find it easily.

How to burn .MOD files from my thumb drive to a DVD

How can I copy my .MOD video files that are on my thumb drive to a DVD-R?

I'm not familiar with that file format, but apparently it is used for some audio and some video files. Here's an article that might be of interest:
http://www.masternewmedia.org/news/2008/06/12/howto_convert_modvideo.htm
Your basic challenge is to convert the format into Quicktime DV Stream (.dv) for greatest compatibility with iDVD. You can also check with Apple to see if upgrading to iDVD08 would solve the problem by being able to handle the format conversion internally. Be sure they understand how the .mod files were created.

How to use .class files from jsp

hi i want to use .class files in my jsp program can any one help me

so if you are using pacakges here is normal example...
say you .java code is something like...
package com.util;
public Class BeanUtility{
}place the .class file at WEB-INF/classes/com/util folder if those folders are missing create it and place the .class file there. or pacakage it as a jar file & put it into WEB-INF/lib folder
Now in jsp you can either use jsp:Usebean tag or use normal scriplets to create an instance of the nessary class...
here is an example for you
<%@ page language="java" import="com.util.BeanUtility" %>
<%
BeanUtility bn = new BeanUtility();
%>however,i'd suggest you to make use of JSTL / Inbuilt tag libraries /MVC 2.0 approach for better maintainance & readablity.
Hope this might help

How to use .as files from AS3 project into Flex project

I'm new.
I created a ActionScript 3 project
I created 2 .as files, which put up a Sprite which moved around. It worked fine.
Now, I want to put that onto my web-site.
So I created a Flex Builder 3 project.
I moved those 2 .as files into it.
I added code to access and display the moving Sprite.
But, each attempt gave me an empty screen.
My main confusion is the following:
I have class BaseClass in file 1
and SubBaseClass extends BaseClass in file 2.
Within the Flex project .mxml file, how do I reference the SubBaseClass so that the object will appear?
I tried things like:
<mx:Application ... completionComplete="init()" >
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function init():void
var myclass:SubBaseClass = new SubBaseClass();
addChild(myclass);
etc (ending stuff)
What do I need to do to make this work
Thanks

How to include header files from different directories?

Hi,
Sorry for the newb question, but I can't figure this out. I'm trying to compile a simple piece of code (C++) that uses header files in a directory different from the Project directory; header files are in /opt/csw/postgresql/include/pqxx. I've tried a few different things, adding that directory to the include directives under Resource Files, add existing files from a folder, etc etc. Whenever I try to build, dmake bails with status -1. I can't seem to get this working, can someone explain how to use header files from different directories?
Thanks,
SlowToady

Header files are usually specified relative to a base directory. If the base directory is not a system directory -- /usr/include or the compiler installation directory -- add a command-line directive
-I path/to/base/dirfor each such directory.
The path can be absolute, such as
-i /opt/csw/postgresql/includeor relative, such as
-I ../../my/includeIn your source code, specify the header file relative to the base directory, and be sure to use quotes, not angle brackets. Example:
#include "header.h" // right
#include <header.h> // wrongThe angle brackets are used for system headers, like <iostream> or <stdlib.h>.
The rules above are common to all compilers on Unix and Linux, and generally to all C and C++ compilers.
For more details, read about the -I option in the C++ Users Guide. You can find the guide by pointing your browser to the "docs" directory in the compiler installation, or go here:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5267
All command-line options are described in Appendix A.

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names?

How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names? Message says "file already exists in catalog"
Message was edited by: marcr56

I am viewing your question from different perspective, that is, the issue that you face when you are ripping VOBs from a second DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc using Premiere Elements,
It is best to give the Premiere Elements version and computer operating system that it is running on. In the absence of that, I will generalize.
Assuming that you are using
Premiere Elements 12
Add Media
"DVD Camera or Computer Drive"
Video Importer
Typically the Video Importer Save In: is C:\Users\Owner\Videos
Each of your DVD discs is going to have the same names for the ripped VOBs (VTS_01_1.VOB and so on depending on the duration of the movie). Consequently, after the ripping of the first DVD's VOBs and their save to Videos, you will end up with that "files already existing..." block for the ripping of the VOBs from the second DVD.
The answer is, for each DVD disc VOB ripping, to plan ahead and create and set for different folders in Videos in the Save In field of the Video Importer.
Please review and then let us know if that works for you. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
Thank you.
ATR.
