Windows 8 can't open video recorded on the Canon FS300

I recorded a video on my Canon FS300 and when I try to open the file I get this message: is unable to play, this element has been encoded in a format that is not supported by your version of Windows

The video is on an SD card and when I discover the content of the map it shows as a MOD file.
I would be grateful to anyone who helps advise how I can open the file. Thank you

Hi Carolyn,

1. the application or program that you use to open the file?

2. are you able to play other video files on the computer?

3 is the issue limited to the video file on the SD card?

Most JVC Camcorders and video cameras record video clips with the MOD file extension. However, the files actually use much more common MPEG2 and MPEG-1 compression technology. By default, Windows Media Player cannot play a JVC Camcorder MOD files.

Windows Media Player does not support. Files MOD. see the following article for confirmation.

Information on the types of media files that Windows Media Player supports (applies to Windows Media Player 12): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992

I suggest that rename you the extension is a mod in .mpg and check.

I suggest you use your favorite search engine and the search for the program that converts files is a mod.

  • Is it possible to limit the number of windows that can be opened?

    Original title: options in window 7

    I have an autistic son who likes to play on the internet (usually from sesame street, Barney and AFV videos on you tube).  The problem I have is that it will sometimes open many windows which eventually slows down the computer and results in me having to close the windows as well as his frustration.  Is it possible to limit the number of windows that can be opened?

    Hi Brian,.

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community. It seems that you need more information to improve the performance of your computer.

    With the current configuration of Windows, there is no option to limit the number of windows that can be opened. You can search the 3rd application using your favorite search engine, which helps you to limit the number of windows that can be opened.

    Hi RobynGP,
     
    This may occur if the print spooler requires other services, and these services are not running. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
     
    1. in Services, right-click on print spooler and then click Properties.

    2. click the Dependencies tab. The first box list all system services that must work for the print spooler start. These are dependencies.

    3 make a note of each service, click OK, and restart each service on which the print spooler is dependent, if the service is not already started. If a service is not started, right-click, click Properties, and then make sure that the startup type is automatic.

  • Photo Gallery can't open this picture. The file format is not supported or you do not have the latest updates to the photo gallery?

    I received an email with pictures and the bos appeared Photo Gallery can't open this picture.  The file format is not supported or you do not have the latest updates to the photo gallery.  I am running Vista on a Toshiba laptop that I bought in July 2009.  What I can do to update the Photo Gallery or something else to see the pictures.  I tried to download Stuffit Expander, but which did not help.

    Hello
    Thank you for using the Microsoft Vista answers Forum.

    What is the file format of the images?

    All the pictures have the same symptoms?

    Disable the antivirus software on your computer and check if it works very well.

    Make sure you have all updates for your version of Vista.

    You can also try the new Windows Live Photo Gallery, as it has more features and should solve your problem.
