我们大多数人可能不知道MOD文件是什么,这是因为摄像机不像以前那样流行。今天,大多数人倾向于使用他们的智能手机或任何分发MP4文件的设备来录制视频,因为这种格式是标准格式。
现在,如果由于某种原因您正在使用在MOD中录制视频的设备,那么您很可能会在 Windows 10 计算机上观看视频时遇到问题。目前没有理由出去购买新相机,因为有办法解决这个问题。
我们要做的就是将MOD文件转换为MPG,或者干脆使用支持该格式的媒体播放器来播放视频。
什么是 MOD 视频文件?
好的,所以在使用旧摄像机时通常会找到 MOD 文件。在大多数情况下,这些是使用存储卡的无磁带摄像机。现在,摄像机公司不再使用这种文件格式,因此对它的支持非常低。
此外,由于MOD文件本质上是MPEG-2音频/视频,因此转换为MPG应该是轻而易举的事。但是,不要尝试转换为MP4,因为最终质量低于原始质量。
转换 MOD 文件 MPG
转换为MPG非常简单。计划是将文件扩展名从 .mod 更改为 .mp4。通过右键单击文件完成此操作,然后选择Rename。如果文件是TWC.mod,则将其更改为TWC.mpg,然后按Enter键启动更改。
现在,如果由于某种原因您没有看到扩展更改,那么我们建议强制Windows 10显示它。
我们可以通过导航到Windows Explorer来做到这一点,然后从那里浏览到文件的位置。在文件夹中,单击File > Change文件夹和搜索选项,然后选择查看(View)。在本节中,您应该会看到对隐藏(Hide)已知文件类型的扩展名的复选标记。您将要删除该检查,然后单击“确定”按钮。
使用FFmpeg从MOD转换为MPG
首先,你必须从官网下载FFmpeg 。但在此之前,请记住这是一个命令行工具,因此在继续之前确保您对此感到满意。
下载该工具后,您将需要打开命令行(Command Line)环境,因为这是访问FFmpeg的方式。下一步是在命令行中输入FFmpeg并按(FFmpeg)Enter键。从那里,使用以下命令进行转换:
ffmpeg -f mpeg -i FILENAME.MOD -vcodec copy -acodec mp2 -ab 192k FILENAME.mpg
坐下(Sit)来等待它完成转换,然后继续尝试播放视频。
在 VLC 媒体播放器中观看 MOD 文件
到目前为止,我们都应该知道VLC 媒体播放器(VLC Media Player)在观看视频时的重要性。该工具支持几乎所有的媒体格式,MOD就是其中之一。因此,如果您不太热衷于将MOD文件转换为MPG ,那么我们建议您使用(MPG)VLC观看视频。
How to convert MOD video file to MPG format
Most of us will likely hаve no idea what a MOD file is, and that’s because camcorders are not as popular as they once were. Today, most folks tend to record videos with their smartphone or any device that distributes MP4 files since that format is the standard.
Now, if for some reason you are using a device that records videos in MOD, then chances are you will have problems watching the video on your Windows 10 computer. There is no reason to go out and purchase a new camera at this time because there are ways around the issue.
What we’re going to do, is convert the MOD file to MPG, or simply use a media player that supports the format to play the videos.
What is a MOD video file?
OK, so MOD files are usually found when an old camcorder is being used. These, for the most part, are tapeless camcorders that use memory cards. Now, this file format is no longer being used by camcorder companies, therefore, support for it is quite low.
Furthermore, since MOD files are essentially MPEG-2 audio/video, converting to MPG should be a breeze. However, do not attempt to convert to MP4 because the end quality be below the original.
Convert MOD file MPG
Converting to MPG is super easy. The plan is to change the file extension from .mod to .mp4. Get this done by right-clicking on the file, then select Rename. If the file is TWC.mod, then change it to TWC.mpg, then hit the Enter key to initiate the change.
Now, if for some reason you are not seeing the extension change, then we suggest forcing Windows 10 to show it.
We can do this by navigating to Windows Explorer, and from there, please browse to the location of the file. Within the folder, click on File > Change folder and search options and select View. From this section, you should see a checkmark against Hide extensions for known file types. You will want to remove that check, then hit the OK button.
Convert from MOD to MPG using FFmpeg
First, you must download FFmpeg from the official website. But before doing so, just bear in mind this is a command-line tool, so make sure you are comfortable with that before moving forward.
After downloading the tool, you will want to open the Command Line environment because that is how FFmpeg is accessed. The next step is to type FFmpeg into the command line and hit the Enter key. From there, use the following command to convert:
ffmpeg -f mpeg -i FILENAME.MOD -vcodec copy -acodec mp2 -ab 192k FILENAME.mpg
Sit back and wait for it to complete the conversion, then go ahead and try to play the video.
Watch MOD files in VLC Media Player
By now we should all know how important VLC Media Player is when it comes down to watching the video. The tool supports almost all media formats, and MOD is one of them. So, if you’re not too keen on converting your MOD file to MPG, then we suggest watching the video using VLC.
