Using .MOD files with iMovie

[Jobos]

Is there any way to convert .mod files to work with iMovie 6 without having to take the .mod to a PC for conversion first?

Not that I'm aware of.

iMovie works best when it downloads the content from the camera itself (so it can convert it to a suitable format on the way). That said, I've never heavily used iMovie6 (only 08/09), so I could be wrong - it might be entirely possible to drag'n'drop files into it, in which case, you'll likely need to find a convertor tool for OSX that supports .MOD files.

 

MPEG Stream Clip, ffmpegX and HandBrake might be good places to start.

Pc or MAC

 

ffmpeg look up BinKit-v2.0 in google. theres a mac ver and PC and Nix. it has scripts built in for 240p-360p-480p-720p-iphone outputs to flv

but i use it for staff using flip cams that make mod files.to convert them to wmv just need to mod script to it outputs to mp4.
