Camcorder Recorded Video (Modul) File
Extension | .mod |
Category | 🔵 video |
Programs | 🔵 VLC Media Player 🔵 Windows Media Player |
Main program | 🔵 Quicktime Player |
Description | 🔵 .mod The .mod file format is associated with camcorder video files used by JVC, Panasonic, and Canon in some models of digital camcorders. MOD files are essentially MPEG- video files with audio in MPEG- Audio Layer II format, but they are stored with a .mod extensionThese files can typically be opened and converted to more common video formats using various video editing software. However, the .mod format is not as widely used as more standard video formats like AVI or MP. |
Technical details | 🔵 The `.mod` file format is used differently in music and video. In music, it emerged from the 1980s Amiga scene for use in tracker programs like ProTracker, where it blends digital sound samples with playback instructions, typically across four channels. This format is efficient for creating complex, compact music tracks, often used in video games and demos. For video, `.mod` is used in standard definition camcorders from brands like JVC, Panasonic, and Canon, producing files similar to MPEG-2 videos with resolutions like 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL). These files, despite the `.mod` extension, can usually be renamed to `.mpg` or `.mpeg` for broader software compatibility. Both in music and video, `.mod` files are proprietary and often need specific software or systems. For wider use, they're typically converted to formats like MP3 or WAV for audio, and AVI or MP4 for video. The application of `.mod` in music or video influences its technical specifications and the choice of playback and editing tools. |

Description | 🔵 A format of audio stream coding deployed by Microsoft in 1999, it has been serving as a foundation for Windows Media. Its purpose is to store and distribute audio content. Firstly, it was considered a real alternative for MP3, but then, when ACC appeared, WMA partially lost its significance. It differs fundamentally from MP3 by one realization and can be installed on an equal basis with other system codecs of Windows 9x. A good compression quality characterizes WMA, and therefore it has been adapted later for many audio players, mobile devices, and Playstations. However, due to excessive closure, files in this format cannot be played back on other platforms with satisfactory quality. The new version allows for multi-channel coding of large audio files and coding of voice data. In addition to that, the delay in coding has been significantly diminished thanks to the technology of reduced time dilation. |
Technical details | 🔵 The name of WMA is being used simultaneously for the file format and the codec. There are some types of the format:
According to Microsoft programmers, an audio file of 64 Kbit/s bitrate has a similar sound clarity as the tracks from the original CD. However, some of advanced users do not share such views. Most often, WMA files are generated in Advanced Systems Format which contains both audio and video content. One of the failures is the impossibility to support bitrate of more than 160Kbit/s. |
