iMovie incompatible Camcorder Problems
Problem 1: I bought a JVC Everio camcorder that use hard disk media to record video files. The camera stores the video in a .MOD file in an MPEG-2 format. When I import .MOD hard disk files into iMovie, it just can’t work.
Problem 2: In windows, you can just change the extension to .mpg and that would possible make it work most of the time. But now you try that on Mac and it doesn’t work.
Problem 3: i can play the .mod files in iMovie but they are giant files, any way to slightly compress without losing a ton of quality?
