Hi, i have tried converting my .mod files to avi files using AVS Video converter 6, but it seems to lower the playback quality a noticeable amount once it is converted. Does the method shown in this tutorial lower the quality aswell? Cheers, Matt.

@DoorMatt69 Any conversion of the video will result in a loss of quality. Depending on what your final output will be you shouldn't notice. This video is 3 years old now... I use a program called WINFF for windows. I might make a video as this is a better way to convert video files.

hey, i followed your instructions but when i load windows media player it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The file may be formatted with an unsupported codec"

[philipnewmannz]

@retrojunkies You'll need to have the right codec on your computer. Try downloading something like k-lite. This video is a little out of date now as bother YouTube and software has changed.

And who wants to convert MPG to AVI uncompressed free, you can always use - VirtualDub

[philipnewmannz]

@ddxaq I use ffmpeg with WinFF for converting videos into a decent format these days.

Also wanted to add, we produce alot of video for several outdoors type businesses and we use the Everio for ALL youtube quality vids. The Everio is actually a GREAT camera for alot of uses and there are a few tricks we have learned with this camera. We bought 7 of them right when they came out. Any quesitons about the Everio, please feel free to ask us anytime from our channel by clicking the username link creativepaint1 below this post.

Just download EMICSOFT VIDEO CONVERTER. You can take the MOD files off your Everio in fine or ultra fine mode and open them in emicsoft, set the output to WMV (windows media Video) name it, save it... The emicsoft converts a hundred times faster than the AVS  video converter and this way you will NOT lose video quality near as bad.

No worries, i might look into this WINFF program, Thankyou!
