Can anyone tell me if VideoStudio supports the JVC *.MOD file format? I understand it is an MPEG2 video with Dolby sound but am unable to load the video files into Videostudio.
Thanks in advance.

It is apparently another proprietary format used by the JVC EVERIO series. It is described on the JVC site as being 'MPEG2-PS, Audio: Dolby Digital AC-3' -- though I don't know what is meant by the 'PS' on the mpeg-2. I know that it stands for 'Program Streaming' but confess my ignorance as to what that implies when it comes to the particular variety of mpeg... 
And I am not sure it is as simple as simply changing the extension to mpg with these files (though it could well be). I think you have to use the special Cyberlink Power Director software which comes with the camera (I believe). To create an .AVI or MPEG file, after you have captured from your camera, click Produce at the top of the Power Director screen. Then select the "Create A File" button on the right. You should then be able to select either .AVI or .MPEG

"Editing the GZ-MG70’s footage can be a bit of a process, even with their software bundle, which includes PowerDVD 5 NE, PowerDirector Express NE, and PowerProducer 2 Gold NE. Video files are classified with the .MOD file extension. In order to import them into most editing programs, or even play them in Real Player or Windows Media Player, you need to manually change the file extension to .MPG. Can you imagine not knowing this until you’ve already recorded 7 hours worth of clips?
The software bundle allows you to skip this step, but that benefit hardly outweighs the wealth of options that a true editing program could give you. The Power suite is rudimentary, and its main function is to get your footage to DVD. It offers you some flexibility in changing clip order and basic fade in / fade out, but the clutter of cheesy effects like text fly-ins will strike even beginners as undesirable. While it's not horribly difficult, if you want the ease of use of DVD playback you're probably smarter to go with a DVD camcorder.
The other big editing headache involves audio. If you import the .MOD files and manually convert them to .MPG, the audio track is dropped. You can work with all the silent footage you like in Avid or Final Cut, but including the original audio, at least for now, means using the bundled editing programs.
Here, again, MiniDV is the preferable option. MiniDV footage may take time to capture onto a computer, but the quality and flexibility it offers are usually worth it.
Looks like your screwed if you rename the MOD extension to MPG.

PS = Program Stream which is what we usually use VS to create mpeg2 files. Video & Audio in one stream (file).
ES = Elementary Stream(s) means separate video & audio files (streams) .
ES streams is used alot for music videos and recording/syncing along with smpte timecode generation. Windows programs like Sonar, SoundForge, Vegas etc.
The smpte timecode is transferred by the midi connection(s) between equipment as master/slave connections/configurations for syncing all the equipment. This way you can have 1 computer/console in slave mode performing more or all the audio recording which is synced to the master video track on the master machine.

Thanks for the replies....
Thanks for the info. I changed the .MOD to .MPG and was able to open the file with the Video being fine but the audio being garbled.
Oh well.....
Happy New Year All.....
