I somehow got my hands on one of these that is supposedly off of a handheld camera. Some kind of Sony MiniDVD recorder. Any idea how to take it from this to any kind of useable file types?

I use a Sony DVD handicam and it downloads a .mpg & .modd for every video. From what I've gathered its a Picture Motion Browser information file. Supposedly if you delete the .modd file the video won't show up in the right place in the softwares timeline.

While trying to burn a DVD, I can't get the audio to play on these Sony Camcorder video clips that I've downloaded onto my computer. Help. Anything to do with the MODD file?

Hi, I have the same problem as most people here. How do I convert this .MODD file and what does it mean??? All I really want to be able to do is view my pictures and videos through my windows explorer. not just the software provided with the camera.

I use Nero 7/8 to create my DVDs from Sony .mpg and .m2ts files; the picture and sound are both perfect. As far as I can tell the .modd file is just a reference file and is not used for anything at all ... I am ready to delete all of them!

I recently bought a Sony Handycam DCR-SR42E. The camera has a 30GB hard drive which we have illed with 20 hours of video. I imported the files onto my computer which have shown up as both .mpeg and .modd but i cant watch either in wmp. When i try importing themn into windows media player it says the file is either not valid, corrupted or "it does not contain any information". Can someone please help me figure this out?

Grant you should be able to view these through the supplied Sony Picture Motion Browser software ... did you install that? or through Windows Media Player 11 software ...

Brendan, I just downloaded Windows Media Player 11 and it gives this message: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.

My friend emailed a movie clip using a Sony Handycam with the file extension .modd. I'm unable to open and view. Don't know if she can convert the file so I can view it.

Can anyone help?

Hi Susan, it's been awhile since I installed this Codec Pack, but I may have installed it to help ... give it a go and let me know how it went ... www.cccp-project.net

Have a Sony SR-1. If you need to play files in Media Player 11 instead of Sony software you need to download the following: 1. K-Lite Codec at www.free-codecs.com/K_Lite_Codec_Pack_download.htm Then you need to download the Haali Media Splitter at www.videohelp.com/tools/Haali_Media_Splitter Once you do that you can view the files in media player. You can also convert the files to an .avi format and still keep the HD quality with a product called Cineform Aspect. This product is not cheap at $500 but if you spent $1500 for Adobe photosuite and want to edit video it's what you have to do!!! Good Luck!!! It took me months to figure this out with no support from Sony.

In Picture Motion Browser, click on Manipulate then Convert to WMV and Save...

That worked for me to be able to view, edit and save with Movie Maker.

Adam	2008-02-29 16:39:59

Right that will work however you are not in HD quality video.

I cant find convert in the manipulate menu.. Have also tried K-lite and Haali media splitter, but cant get it to work.. What am i doing wrong?

I too can't find convert in the manipulate menu... My problem is that I can import into WMM but when I try to save it as a movie file (to change the video to a smaller size for quicker upload to my website) it gives an error saying that it cannot save the file because the source file is not in the same place...

I asked some friends and they suggested purchasing Sony's editing program because they tend to configure their products to only work with their own. Honestly, I like to keep things simple and WMM is the perfect program for me for editing... HELP!

windows media player version 6.4.09.1130 seems to play the mpeg-2 format from my sony sr-200 where windows media player 11 does not.

Also under my "manipulate" menu there is not a convert tab.

I have a DCR-DVD810 (no, not HD video) and I'm running PMB ver 3.0.00.11220. I use WMP 10 because I've had a lot of problems with 11. Make sure you have the correct codec.

I don't know if I have a more recent version of PMB as I just bought this camera. Check your version then we can see if the "Manipulate -> Convert to WMV" is new.

Here's a screen shot of what it looks like (with Convert to WMV highlighted) --> www.theindoorrange.com/PMB.jpg

Don't worry about the .MODD files, leave 'em alone. Work with the mpegs.

Allyson - Have you tried saving the Project prior to saving the Movie? When I import the mpeg into WMM, I get audio but no visual. I have to convert them to WMV first.

Sony's software is proprietary and not easy to work with outside the "Realm of Sony". However, I like their products and until I cannot find a way around their software, I'll keep using it.

I also like the ease and familiarity of WMM but have been contemplating Ulead --> www.ulead.com/vs/runme.htm

Does anyone know how to enable in Picture Motion Browser the following:

Manipulate > Convert to WMV and Save

I was told that this option exists, even given a screenshot, but my (version) Picture Motion Browser has nothing like that under Manipulate.

Either that, or maybe someone here can suggest to me how i can either:

1) Convert out of .modd/.mpg format to make my video a different format so i can put into another video editing program to do work on it.
2) Find a program that tolerates .modd/.mpg and permit editing of that particular video.

I'm not looking to do any spectacular form of editing, just clipping/adding Fade effect.

TMPGEnc tolerates the .modd/.mpg format but does not have a fade in/out feature. Windows Movie Maker on the other and rejects that file extension.

Thanks for any help.
