Tips:
How to play MOD files on Mac ?
The Canon FS series /JVC DVR video creates video files with a .MOD extension.
MOD video files are nothing but MPEG-2 files with AC3 audio.
Apparently, .MOD files can be easily renamed into .MV2 or .MPG files and can then be read easily by most video editing or playback tools.
You can use MPlayer OS X or VLC Media Player to play MOD files on Mac. They are all free.

Thrid, How to convert MOD(MOI) to AVI, MPEG, MP4, MOV ?

Some models of the JVC, Panasonic and Canon Digital Camcorder record videos to .MOD video format. JVC camcorders sometimes produced small .MOI files which contain time stamp information associating with MOD files.

As a matter of fact, the MOD files that the JVC camera produces are really just MPEG-2 files. It’s reported that simply renaming the extension from .MOD to .AVI or .MPG, then you can convert MOD files to .AVI or .MPG. But sometimes, there is no sound, or videos distort when you open the .AVI files.

Is there an easy way to solve that problem? It is not a problem since Mod Converter for Mac - iSkysoft video converter for Mac hits the market.
