You can play MOD files either on the camcorder itself or any other program or system that supports .MPG format or MPEG-2 video formats. In general MOD format is standard definition video with a maximum resolution of 480 to 576i. DVD players will also very easily play a video in MOD format.

The Differences between MOD and MOV Files

As you can already guess, there are several differences between the two; some of the most prominent differences between MOD and MOV files include the following:

• MOD format is camcorder video format that was developed by JVC and Panasonic. MOV on the other hand is a multimedia file container developed by Apple.
