Hi
I just bought Movie Maker to edit ten years from a camcorder (JVG - Enviro). The downturn was therefore great when it turned out that I only got the audio files into the editing system. The camera operates with MOV (MOD) files. Hope it's an easy way to fix this. Frustrating when one has looked forward to arrange your recordings and not getting anywhere.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I believe the .MOD files from a JVC camera are encoded in MPEG-2 format. That requires a licensed MPEG-2 codec be present in order to edit. Assuming you are on Windows 8 or later, there is no included MPEG-2 codec so you can't edit MPEG-2 video using Movie Maker.
Your best bet is to find a video conversion program and convert the .mod files to a supported format like .wmv or .mp4.
But what about my problem of importing MOD-fikles??
