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

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....

How can I easily convert mod files (JVC video files) to a format recognized and usable by imovie?
Is there a way within the ios to do this or do I need to buy conversion software? If so, what is the recommended software?
Thanks.

I don't think there are ways in iOS can do this. some conversion software like this might do the right thing for you:

One solution would be to generate the report via an servlet which you then call with an af:golink with an target frame set to blank.

What is the best software/plugin for converting Quark files to Indesign?

What is the best software/plugin for converting Quark files to Indesign?
I don't want to upgrade to the latest Quark now i've got CC so going to make the leap to indesign only. Does Indesign auto convert or do I need anything else?

ID does not load QXD files. There is a respective commercial third-party plug-in to that effect, but it's rather pricey and I'm not up to speed which versions of Quark and ID it supports and which features come over. Inquire in the ID forum.

What is the best software for converting video files to .ogg format?

In trying to html5 compliant I want to convert my video files to the .ogg format. After a lot of searching for video converters, I cannot find one that does this; although several claim to but actually don't. Converting audio isn't so much of a problem. So, can you suggest a tool for converting video files to .ogg format?

How to convert .MOD files into .DV for iMovie import

I am urgently (and desperately) trying to import some .MOD files into iMovie 09 for editing. They were made on a JVC cam, but I only have them on HDD now. I tried renaming files to .avi, but still cannot import them. I used Handbrake to convert to mp4 files and can import them now, but quality seems to be reduced even though destination file size is similar.
Can anyone tell me how to convert the .MOD files to .DV files easily? I have read about the ffmpeg tool that you can use in the Terminal, but am not confident to do this as have never used Terminal !
Any help and advice would be very much appreciated.

I have a JVC everio 30 GB hard drive video camera and I'm trying to convert the videos as well. Mine are also in mod format and my computer won't convert it either. Should I upgrade to quicktime pro 7 for $30 or just pay $20 for the mpeg-2 add-on? This is for a family camera that is used mainly for occasional family vacations/get together's. No editing, I just want to get these off the camera's hard drive because the hard drive is running out of space and I wanna be able to make them into DVDs so we have a hard copy in case anything happens to my laptop. I'm not sure which is better for my use? The add-on is cheaper but is there other advantages for me to get pro?
Thanks for the help

Mpeg2 playback component for OS 10.3.9. or converting mod files

Hi,
I want to convert mod video files so that I can work with them on the mac. Someone suggestes using mpeg streamclip (which I have, version 1.9.2) and mpeg2 playback component (I have version 6.0.2.)
Unfortunetly, when opening the mod file streamclip asks me to update my mpeg2 playback component. Here comes the problem:
The current Apple MPEG2 PlayBack component seems to be only available for OS Tiger (10.4.9. and higher). I am using OS 10.3.9. and QT Pro 7.1. and I would very much prefer to stay with this setting.
1) Does anyone know where I could get an older version of the mpeg2 playback component?
2) Or, is there an alternative way, instead of using the mpeg2 playback with quicktime to convert the videos into something iMovie (I have iM 4) or another programm can work with?
I found this website, would that be of any help? http://www.modconverterformac.net/
3) Which other program (thirdparty) besides iMovie could I use to cut and view the videos on the mac? I have Final Cut Pro, but it is too complicated for me.
Thank you very much,
Janik

Converting .mod files for imovie

Hey so I have some game film I have on a dvd. I copied all the .MOD files onto my desktop and want to make all the files one video that I can upload to youtube so I can share it with coaches. I would think I need iMovie to put them together, so how do I do that? or do I need a different program?

Solution may be found if you search in the "More Like This" section over in the right column.

Converting .MOD file to F4v

When i drag my >MOD files (which I believe are a JVC type of mpeg2 file) Adobe converts to F4v as a default. is this the best choice for editing with primiere pro cs5? Also, Should i choose 720 24 in primere if Adobe media converter says the files is656 x 480? thanks for your time.

If AME will import a MOD file, there's no reason to convert; Premiere Pro supports all the same formats that AME does.
And no, F4V is not a good editing format.

Can compressor convert mod files ?

I have had logic studio for a while now and never even opened compressor once til today.

Thanks,

nope I guess they are .MOD files I guess imovie may have converted some of them to .MOV

What is the best product for converting MTS files (NOT on camera or in root directory) for editing in Final Cut

Hello all,
I have read the forums and know that I cannot use the Log and Transfer function on Final Cut Express 4.0 for my AVCHD files (from my Panasonic HC-V700) AFTER I have transfered the files out of the original root directory. Unfortunately, I did not know this until recently and I have a bunch of old footage in .mts form that I copied onto my harddrive WITHOUT the root directory. I now must get it into Final Cut Express 4.0.1. and I would like to use a Log and Transfer style program so that I can select what I need and erase the rest. I know about the program VoltaicHD which can be used for this purpose. I have not yet purchased it, but I will if this is my best option. The downsides to it are that it takes a lot of time to process the files (i hear from this forum) and that it creates extremely large files (hearsay from this forum, though I would like to know just how big those files are and how they compare to the size of files final cut creates). When I tried the trial version, I also noticed that unlike the log and transfer function in Final Cut Express 4.0.1, you cannot capture multiple subclips from a single clip. Well you can, but you have to load the clip into the viewing window again, which is not ideal.
I would love some more advice on this. I imagine other people have made this same mistake and have had to figure their way out of it.
I was also wondering is it possible to use Final Cut Express's Log and Transfer program directly from files if they are in a different file format. So far my experiments with this have failed. But if this is possible, I suppose I can also just convert all the backlogged files wholesale into a format that Final Cut Express supports more easily for Log and Transfer (What file format would this be? Sorry I am new to this). My new harddrive has a lot of free space, so I could probably handle the huge amount of storage that this would require for the raw footage and then I could erase it after I log and transfer just what I need. In which case, do folks have recommendations for a file convertor. I am dealing with over hundreds of files and I don't think the free online convertors would work. This product has been suggested to me, but I know very little about it.
Thanks!
Mira

I am also finding, when I use Voltaic trial version, that the quicktime movies it creates are of inferior quality than those created through log and transfer into final cut express and imovie, particularly during rapid movement. There's a lot of visible lines running horizontally around areas of rapid movement (not sure what the lingo is for this).
Anyway, now I am getting accustomed to the idea that my best bet is probably just a high quality converter to get my mts files into something more useable by final cut. At this point, I am willing to sit through the render time that it will take on final cut express while I edit. I am just trying to get my footage into workable format without losing quality.
Thank you!
Mira
