Need help, converting .mod format files to .meg or .avi file formats.

I am trying to convert from camcorder. The camcorder is a JVC camera, harddrive camcorder.
Unfortunately, the files are recorded onto the hardrive as .mod files.
How to convert the .mod files to .avi and .mpeg files, so can view them on computer or burn them to dvd, so can view them
on a software program that only accepts .avi or .mpeg file formats.

Thanks

I own the MG77, rename the files to .vob, and they’ll play in any dvd playing software.
lots of vob to avi convertors exist
