However, despite smartphones are portable and  convenient, the filming quality of a smartphone is no match to that of a real  camcorder device. Therefore, if you really want to preserve the best moments in  your life for a long time, camcorder is still a superior choice. Comparing to  smartphones, camcorders save video footage in a different way. Normally, if you  are using a Panasonic camcorder, chances are the video footage are saved in the  MOD format, which is not able to be recognized by most of the video player or  video editor programs. In order to better view or edit your footage, you need  to convert the MOD to another video format. Today we will start from there, and  introduce some of the best MOD video conversion solutions for you to make your  MOD video files more compatible and flexible. <\/p>\n<div class=\"anchor-list-dark\" >\n<ul>\n<li> <a href=\"#part1\">Part 1.

Comparison Among the three Video Converters<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\" id=\"part1\">Part 1. About MOD<\/h2>\n<p>Before we get into the topic and start  talking about how to convert MOD to MP4, let&rsquo;s know more about the MOD media  file format first. MOD is a media file type developed by digital video cameras  such as JVC&rsquo;s Everio camcorders, Panasonic SDR and Canon FS camcorders. Although  MOD is very similar to the common MPEG-2 format which is able to be played on  most of the Windows PCs or Mac computers, the format may still fail to be  opened when you are using iMovie, Final Cut Pro and some other video editing  software. Also, you will most likely have some problems if you want to play MOD  on your mobile devices like iPhone, iPad or android devices as well. <\/p>\n<p>In other words, MOD is incompatible with  most video editing software, portable devices and some media player programs.  Therefore, to get a better viewing and editing experience out of the MOD files,  it is necessary to convert MOD to a more compatible format like MP4. In the  following, we will introduce three different video converting programs or tools  to help you convert your MOD file to MP4 efficiently. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\" id=\"part2\">Part 2: Convert MOD to MP4 with Leawo Video Converter<\/h2>\n<p>The first MOD to MP4 converting solution  involves a professional video converter called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/video-converter\/\" title=\"Leawo Video Converter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leawo Video Converter<\/a>.

The free version of Freemake Video Converter has some basic  functions, while the premium version provides more advanced and complete media  processing support including video converting, DVD ripping, photo slideshow  creating, music visualization and more. <\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MOD-to-MP4-freemake-05.png\" onClick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MOD-to-MP4-freemake-05.png\" title=\"MOD-to-MP4-freemake-05\" alt=\"MOD-to-MP4-freemake-05\" width=\"650\" height=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Although Freemake Video Converter has many  different media processing functions, the video converting ability of this  program is not as specialized as it of Leawo Video Converter. But still,  converting MOD to MP4 is achievable in this program easily. To convert an MOD  video to MP4, just read the guides and follow the instructions below. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Step1: <\/strong>Download, install and launch  Freemake Video Converter. In the main interface of the program, click the  &ldquo;+Video&rdquo; button at the upper left corner to import your source video file.<br \/>\n  <strong>Step2: <\/strong>After the source video file is  imported, click the &ldquo;To MP4&rdquo; button in the bottom row. Then a pop-up window  will show up, where you need to set an output directory and the video spec  preset. When it&rsquo;s done, click the &ldquo;Convert&rdquo; button to start the conversion.<br \/>\n<strong>Step 3: <\/strong>When the converting task is  done, another pop-up window will show, notifying you that the conversion is  completed. Click &ldquo;OK&rdquo; to confirm and quit the converting task. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\" id=\"part4\">Part 4: ConvertMOD to MP4 with Convertio<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to convert your MOD to MP4 in  the easiest way, besides the two approaches introduced above, you can also use one  of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/top-5-free-online-video-converters.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">online  video converter tools<\/a> to help you do the job. Online video converter tools  have the advantages in their compatibility and availability. Any device with a  fully functional web browser can convert a video with online video converter  tools, and no more extra program or application is required. However, the  drawbacks of an online converter tool, compared to dedicated video converting  programs, are also obvious. Online video converter tools are highly dependent  on a stable and high-speed internet connection, and the customization options  you can get from an online video converter tool are usually limited.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MOD-to-MP4-convertio-06.png\" onClick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MOD-to-MP4-convertio-06.png\" title=\"MOD-to-MP4-convertio-06\" alt=\"MOD-to-MP4-convertio-06\" width=\"650\" height=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Online video converter tools are very  suitable when you want your MOD video converted in the shortest amount of time  without many video customizations.

You can also upload your video from  Dropbox, Google Drive or a link by clicking the corresponding icon.<br \/>\n  <strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Browse and find your video file  to upload. Once the file is successfully uploaded, you can see your video is  listed in the converting queue. Click the format dropdown button to choose an  output format. &ldquo;MP4&rdquo; is the first option in the &ldquo;Video&rdquo; tab. <br \/>\n<strong>Step 4: <\/strong>Once the output format is being  set, you can either add more videos into the converting queue by clicking the  &ldquo;Add more files&rdquo; button, or directly start the converting task by clicking the  red &ldquo;Convert&rdquo; button. The converted file will be downloadable once the  converting task is done. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\" id=\"part5\">Part 5.
