I have a problem with importing mpg file into ELAN.
The video is taken by Sony Handycam DCR-SR80 60GB Hard Drive Digital Camcorder. The specs for this model says that the video capture format is MPEG-2. When I import the video into my PC laptop, it creates two separate files for each video clip: one has extension .mpg and the other .modd. When I try to open these video clips in ELAN, the only file that ELAN recognizes is .mpg, so I can see the video, but not .modd, so i cannot hear it. I guess the .modd file is a corresponding sound file.
I don't know how to solve this problem. I really hope it's something simple
Should I look for ways to convert this mysterious .modd file into something recognizable like .wav or .mp3? Or should i install mpeg-2 codec and see if it works. By the way, both Windows Media Player and QuickTime Player on my laptop refuse to play any of those video clips.
hoping,
elain

Hello all, has anyone encountered problems using mpeg2 in Elan? The guide for Elan and the use with sign languages warns to use mpeg2 and rather recommends mpg1, but doesn't really mention why. So far I used both types without problems, but I would like to make a decision in favour of mpeg2, as some videos definitely lack quality with the mpeg 1 format. Any support that helps to make a decision is welcome. Thank you very much. Annika
