JVC GZ-MC100

Mar 2, 2005 5:06PM PST

I have recently bought the JVC GZ-MC100. Great (small) camera, only 1 problem: there seems to be a compatibility problem for the video files with Windows XP (SP2). If I use Cyberlink PowerDirector, the programma that JVC delivers with the camera, the programma does not recognize the vidoe files as media files. Why?? What I do know is that the extension of the files is .mod (for instance: video1.mod).
What can I do to import the video files and edit them?

Thanx

Gbuild

SP2 after installing Cyberlink?
Mar 3, 2005 6:29AM PST

Did you install SP2 before or after Cyberlink. SP2 might have changed the file associations?

The .mod files are mpeg2. Try re-naming one with .mpg and see if it opens that way. I haven't had any trouble editing and playing on win98 (other than win98 crashing every fifteen minutes) and win2000. Everything works as it should. The files also play just fine on my Linux machine using Mplayer.
