Guys - looking for a bit of advice please...

In a moment of madness on holiday I bought a JVC GZ-MG50AG camera (and was totally ripped off but thats another story).

Anyway - I have uploaded the files onto my PC and they appear to be in .MOD format (and each has a .MOI which I presume to be some sort of text information file with the date of the clip etc). Problem is I am using ULead VideoStudio v9 which doesn't seem to speak to .MOD files (neither does Windows Movie Maker). So, for the time being, the only way I can edit the files is with the software that came with it which seems to be incapable of doing anything other than sticking clips together, triming a bit off and burning to CD). Infact, I have only half filled the camera's hard disk and the software can not handle that amount of clips.

I am no technical wizz by any stretch of the imagination - but I believe the .MOD clips are in MPEG-2 format.

Does anyone know of a workround for this - is there anything that can convert the files over - or any better way I can view and edit my clips?

Many thanks for your help folks...

Ricky

is this something no-one else has came up against before?

Any tips would be much appreciated!

I was able to get swish (flash tool) to read the files. I used that to convert it to FLV file. I just got the camera (not yet stolen) and am on the same hunt as you.
