Can you put the new Everio camcorders by JVC into windows movie maker, or will it not take the format?

Question

They just came out with them and i want one to do my filming and to put them in Windows movie makr

Answer 1

Everio creates 2 files for each video clip: MOD file (Video-MPEG2-PS & Audio-Dolby Digital AC-3) & MOI file (info like date/time & aspect ratio). The .MOD file extension can be renamed to .MPG to view the footage; however, audio will not accompany the file. When split, clips can't be imported into editing application w/o first using video converter app–> to create a unified MPEG-2 file.

These video editing apps accept direct import of .MOD files w/o conversion: JVC supplied Cyberlink Power Director Xpress, Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0

But if wish free editing thru wmmaker, you'll have to sweat a little...

Check clarification on JVC .mod, together with Carol's helpful learning on MOD conversion using Prism.
