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 aherrmann-2008-01-25 19:48:40

 

Can you please tell me if you resolved your problem?  I have the same camera and same issues and am going nuts!  I did on-line sony help and they act like I'm crazy.  I'd love any advice.  Note that my videos do play in Sony Picture Browser, but nothing else.  Thanks - Tracy
