Using .MOD files with Windows Movie Maker

DEAR GOOGLE ADSENSE TEAM, THIS PAGE HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF PLACING ADSENSE ADS IN AREAS THAT ARE “ENCOURAGING ADDITIONAL CLICKS”. I WOULD LIKE THE EYES OF A HUMAN TO INSPECT THIS PAGE AND NOT SOME PROGRAMMED BOT.

I HAVE AN AD AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS POST AND TWO ON THE SIDE MENU.

I sometimes post things on my site so I have a record of it and can reference back whenever I need the information.
Does your video camera record capture .MOD files in 16:9 but displays 4:3 in Windows Movie Maker? Well, here’s a solution:

Several camcorders that record to an internal hdd store video in files with a .MOD extension. Unfortunately I couldn’t import these directly into Windows Movie Maker.

To get the footage into Windows Movie Maker find a program called SDCOPY. By default my Canon FS100 records in widescreen mode (16:9 aspect ratio). However, it doesn’t properly set a flag in the .MOD file to indicate this so several programs (including GSpot codec appliance) report the video as being in 4:3 format (instead of 16:9).

SDCopy makes a copy of the file, changes the extension to .MPG and corrects the aspect ratio flag (as long as you select the option).

Next, I used ffmpeg to convert from an mpeg to an asf with the following invocation:
ffmpeg -i myvideo.MPG -f asf -sameq -vcodec wmv2 -acodec wmav2 -ab 256k myvideo.asf
Windows Movie Maker was able to import the .asf.

Taking a Stand for Privacy: Why We Said Goodbye to Google

In early April 2020, a significant decision was made at Mercola.com that sent shockwaves through the digital realm: we deliberately blocked Google from indexing our articles and breaking news blog posts. This move was not arbitrary; it was a conscientious step taken in response to the growing concerns about the invasive nature of surveillance capitalism, spearheaded by Google. The Era of Surveillance Capitalism For years, we've been sounding the alarm about the dangers posed by surveillance capitalists, with Google at the forefront. Most websites, including countless smaller ones, rely on Google's "free" analytics program and advertising platforms. But as the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Behind the facade of free services lies a stark reality: your personal data is the currency exchanged for these conveniences. Google's power extends far beyond mere data collection. It operates as a surveillance agency with formidable yet covert capabili
