| Description | The TOD file format is a high-definition video file format used to store video footage shot on JVC solid-state camcorders such as the GZ-HD7, GZ-HD5 and GZ-HD5. TOD recordings contain high-definition MPEG-2 (H.262) streams similar to those used in MTS video clips shot with support for AVCHD devices.
This format is specific to some camcorder models and may not be as widely supported as more common video file formats. |
| Technical details | The TOD file format is a video format used to store high-definition recordings shot with JVC Everio camcorders and similar devices. The TOD format is used for recording to solid-state hard drives and memory cards.

Video can be recorded in 1440x1080 or 1920x1080 pixel resolution. The video is compressed using the MPEG-2 Video codec, and the format can record video in 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios.
