Heey i just got this video Camera with a harddriver build in, and it makes all the movie files in .MOD files, but how do i convert them so i can put them into Windows Movie maker.. I got this Program “Cyberlink PowerDirector” but its not as good as Movie maker, so is there a way how to convert them into something acceptable for Movie Maker...
Hi,
I think i found the solution
MOD files are MPEG2, so i renamed them to . mpg
IT WORKS
But i think you have to installe AC3 filter, you can proberbly find it on the web, but i have installed DJBCP codec pack, this is a (LARGE)collection of free codecs http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DJBCP_Codec_Pack.htm
YOU’RE PERFECT LIKE M. SCHUMACHER NUMBER 1, THAKS FOR THIS MPG RENAMED FILE.
Can you document what you did that meant you could get the MOV files working in movie maker - I AM DESPERATE!
I have changed the file extensions to .mpg and installed a AC3 filter, but I still get an error message. What do I need to do?
Hey, man i did everything you said but my files still dont work, i’m on a dead line for a project and i cant seem to get anything to work plz! you gotta help me....
ok here’s what happenes, i did everything but its still not able to read....what should i do?? o_O
Did it all - no error message but only get audio on the clips - no visual
Yes there is a way.
Use your Cyberlink to produce an AVI to your hard drive. Choose Microsoft AVI as a format and pick a compression Codec. (Movie maker will have a problem with the audio track in DV AVI) I use Microsoft Video.
Now you have a video clip that Movie maker can slice and dice.
I am having so much trouble converting files from .MOV .MOI to anything I can import into Windows Movie Maker. If anyone has some easy advice please let me know...I have gotten sooo many different responses and none seem to work...PLEEEEEASE HELP! I will make and post a video personally thanking you on YouTube! Thank You.

I have been using the JVC hard drive since Christmas. I’ve been doing the following successfully and burning it to DVD’s since I got the camera.
And if it makes a difference to any film-makers out there, I have a B.A. in film/video. (I do this for a living.)
Open Cyberlink Power Director.
Open and check your footage.
When you import your footage, note that you only see the .MOD, not the .MOI. That is because the MOI is the audio file and is opened with the .MOD (Its automatic.)
Make sure you can play your footage in cyberlink.
Select your footage (green outline)
Select “produce” to open your render window.
Assign your output.
Select “create a file” and click “Next”.
Select “AVI”
In the left drop down list underneath, Select Microsoft AVI.
In the right drop down, Select your quality.
Click the settings button(The Wrench)to open AVI profile settings.
Select Compression “Microsoft Video 1” and
Select Composition “Video and Audio”
Then Click O.K. and it goes back to produce window.
Click next.
Double check your “export file”. This is where you want to find the AVI when it is done.
And Click Start.
Now you have a video clip that Movie maker can slice and dice.
If anyone else has a problem, let me know and I can walk you through it.

I converted my MOD files to AVI files using MPEG Streamclip 1.1 (freeware). Once they were converted, I imported them into MOvie Maker. I can play them and they work fine. But once I create a movie by placing them in the storyboard and then hit preview, I have a black video with only audio playing. What am I doing wrong?
i am trying also to edith MOD files, by renaming, en downloading codecs but still things do not work out.
Where / where is the MPEG Streamclip?
Lady Hawk, where and whow do i find the cyberlink Power Director, thx so much
hey im also using an everio and i was wondering how, if at all, you can compress the files and perhaps maintain decent quality, as i have a 2min 30sec clip and its like 162mb in mod format and i used Converio 2.0 to convert it to avi and it is something in the neighborhood of 550mb. Any suggestions?
LadyHawke is awesome!

Exactly how do you “rename” the video file... do you mean convert? I can convert using the Cyberlink Editor but I hate all that wasted it time when it comes to converting.
Ladyhawke, I tried following your step but I get stuck on “Select “produce” to open your render window. " then forward. When I highlight the files produce stayed gray out. How do i fix this ? Pleasssseee help
Freaking-Pingo Try Prism Video File Converting Software ! http://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/
.mpg renaming will work, if that is not working please let me know
Ive downloaded differnt codexs i get this messgae form windows movie maker C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\hpe movie\5 edit.MPEG could not be imported. Unspecified error
Check Converio 2.0 to convert .MOD files into the desired format.
