Trying to load my movies into Windows Movie Maker but it doesn't recognize the .MOD for which my movies are backup in...how do you change the setting to allow Windows Movie Maker to see them?- Guest

I prefer Wondershare video converter, it could not only convert MOD files to Windows movie maker but also the best HD video converter and AVCHD video converter which can convert HD video and AVCHD video to avi, convert m2ts to avi, convert mts to avi, convert ts to mp4 etc.. with excellent quality.

I use Sony Vegas 8 Movie Studio...a great piece of software...and use the Storm codec pack to view .mod files that the JVC puts out:

scroll down to download mirror for STORM Codecs, not AVS.

Good luck.

Here you go:

1. Connect you usb to you computer and camcorder
2. Camcorder ask do you want to playback, backup, create dvd, direct print.... Choose playback
3. Option pops up on your computer.. Select "Take No Action"
4. Go into My Computer and open the E: or Everio_HDD
5. >>For movies- Select SD-Video - Folder PRG002 or PRG001 are where your movie files is located
Drag and drop .MOD files to your desktop **.MOI files are indexes of the .MOD files and will not convert **

>>For Pictures- Select DCIM - Folder 101JVCSO or 100JVCSO - Drag and Drop to desktop - NO FILE CONVERSION NECESSARY

6. Change the file extension to .MPG

** If you find yourself having issues changing the file extension, open my computer... select tools... go to folder options.... un-check "Hide extension for known file types", check it back when your finished if you have kids.. I do for my computer.***

**You are simply creating copies of your files when you drag and drop you movies and pics***

These step will allow you to view back you movies using Windows Media Player until you get your software.

I had the same problem, try downloading a file converter such as "prism File Converter" to change your MOD files to JPEG and then import in Windows Movie maker
