"I recently purchased a JVC camcorder that records video as .MOD files. I can't seem to edit the files or play them on my PC. Is there a way to convert MOD files to MPEG or something that works on my computer?"
What's the solution?
Since .MOD files are JVC's implementation of MPEG-2 transport streams, similar to a VOB file on a DVD or the M2T files used on Sony hard drive camcorders, you don't actually need to convert the files to .MPG in order to make them playable on your computer. You can simply rename them in most cases.
However, it can't be possible if you want to edit the MOD files on your computer. An application that comes with video editing functions is necessary for you. And Aimersoft Video Converter Ultimate has been proved to be a useful MOD to MPEG converter that features powerful video editing functions. Plus, it offers you free download.
