It's not unusual to come across MPEG (and MPEG-2) files that use .mpg, .mpeg, .mpe, .mov, .mp2, .mod, and .tod. Make sure you are converting files from MPEG-2 to some other common format that is supported by Adobe Premiere. Anyway, converting to MPEG-1 will definitely kill quality. So if you want to preserve video quality, I'd go with DV-AVI or adjust the settings for WMV and export in that format.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/tod-conversion-programs-help-please#post-47718 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 02:07:58 +0000 Arana-Jaye 47718@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a JVC GZ-HD7AA and I am a complete novice video recorder and editor - I have shot and then downloaded to my external hard drive a number of unedited videos - I have the Adobe Premiere Elements 4 editing program which I thought should be OK.  First problem is it doesn't recognise .tod files.  So I research and downloaded a trial version of AVS converter, and then purchased the Tipart Mod Converter program, both of which state they convert .tod to mpeg + heaps of other file extensions.  I have trialled both programs and they both seem to successfully convert to .mpeg or whatever I ask.  But A.Premiere always states ünsupported format or damaged file."One of the necessary components may not have been installed" -  I don't know what to do - I have found a few references to .tod conversions but they only confuse me.  Neither conversion programs answer my "Help"emails - </p> <p>I hope the solution is something very basic that I'm not doing and I really hope someone may be kind enough to help me through this problem.</p> <p>I eagerly await a reply.</p> <p>Arana</p>
