How to put .MOD and .MOI in Movie maker

You just rename the .mod to .mpg thats all.
You can view it in GOM player etc. The .mod has both picture and sound.
The .moi is just for direct to DVD use with the dedicated kit and cable.
For movie maker you need to conert the .mpg to .avi. I use format factory.

Thank you Ladyhawk and Schumi! All I had to do was rename .MOD to .mpg and everything worked like a dream! Has sound and the same quality of video. Awesome! Now I can get started on editing my movie!

Ok...the MOD is another extension for MPG, so just rename.
The MOI just tells the OEM software the aspect ratio of 4:3 or 16:9. I dont know where the idea that the MOI has the audio came from!

So just rename the file to MPG and enjoy!

I used to import MOD to MOVIE MAKER and had no problem editing. Since I reformatted HDD, no go. Can anyone explain how that was so simple before and impossible now?

..and renaming to ,mpg doesn’t work. Is there a trick to this?
