mellonman Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Just wonder if any of you techy guys could help me out, I found my old cam corder and its got some footage of suprapod 2012 and some other meets , but when I put the memory card in my tablet it cant play the files after some research its because its a MOD file, I have tried renaming it to a mpg but that didnt work, Does anyone know of a video player that plays mod file for my tablet or another way I can get around it Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Plethora Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 VLC Media player should play those, it plays pretty much everything. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.en_GB.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 According to this rather long-winded explanation its just MPEG2 format with a different file extension. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/convert-mod-camcorder-video-format-mpg-instantly/ Try changing the extension from .mod to .mpg and see if it will play then. Doesn't seem to work for everyone, especially if you run a modern OS or use widescreen video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 OK, do a Google for "Freemake Video Converter". I struggled for ages with VLC because everyone seems to rate it so highly for conversion. I can never get the damn thing got work so now I use Freemake instead and its happily munched through anything I've given it. I think the free version has some ads in it but nothing that has ever caused me any bother. If MOD is a proprietary format then you might be screwed, but its hopefully just a wrapper for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
