"I recently bought the most amazing 15’ Macbook Pro along with final cut Pro, hoping to put together video files from my JVC hard drive camcorder. The files from the camera are .mod and are not recognized by FCP (at least I can't figure out how). Any help on what I have to do? Thanks for your help!" --- From forums.macrumors.com

Well, the .mod file format, developed by Panasonic and JVC, continues to be the format of choice for a number of camcorder manufacturers. However, if you are a Mac user and have ever tried to import MOD to Mac, you may probably have met the same problem as the friend’s above. That’s mainly because Mac does not support MOD file format. Therefore, if you want to make your MOD files playable on QuickTime, or import MOD to iMovie, MOD to FCP for further editing, you need to convert MOD to QuickTime MOV format in advance.

Before the conversion, you need to import the original MOD files from your Mac to the program, or directly from your Panasonic, JVC… camcorder via a USB cable by clicking "Add File"

Choose "MOV-QuickTime (*.mov)" as the output format from the "Common Video" tab in the "Profile" menu, since QuickTime MOV is the video format that’s fully compatible with Apple devices and editing software.
