I am video taping on a JVC camera with sd cards. Some of the taping was in full HD and some was in digital. I transferred my recordings to my WD hard drive so they could be stored. Now I am trying to import them into magix for editing and keep getting an error. Most are close to 1 hour in length. How do I import them into magix or where can I find out how to import them? Is there a codec I need to download? would the newer version have those codes? how do i tell which one it needs?
Thank you
rtkepler8,
A Google search for JVC camera video file format came up with the following on the top hit:
The .MOD file format is used by various digital camcorder models (I.E JVC Everio) to save their videos. These files are often accompanied by small .MOI files (See links below) which contain the videos' time-stamp information.
The .MOD format is simply a MPEG2 formatted video, and if you simply wish to view the files on your computer, it is reportedly safe to rename the extension from .mod to .mpg or .avi
Hope this helps,
Carl
