MOD is the video format that many standard-definition camcorders from JVC, Panasonic, and Canon wrote to their internal hard drives or SD cards. Inside, a MOD file is essentially an MPEG-2 program stream — the same encoding used on DVDs — paired with a small companion .moi file that stores the recording date and other camera details. JVC's high-definition counterpart is TOD, which keeps the same MPEG-2 encoding at HD resolutions; it should not be confused with AVCHD, a contemporaneous but separate H.264-based format that uses the .mts and .m2ts extensions.
Note: The .mod extension is also widely used for tracker music modules, a format originating on the Amiga with Ultimate Soundtracker and ProTracker that stores sequenced patterns alongside sampled instruments. If your .mod file is only a few hundred kilobytes and will not play as video, it is almost certainly a music module — open it with OpenMPT, XMPlay, or VLC. Some games and applications also use .mod for user-made modification packages, which are not media files at all.
VLC media player is the usual choice, since it plays MOD without any additional codecs.
Because MOD is really MPEG-2, another reliable trick is to rename the file extension from .mod to .mpg — most players and editors will then recognise it immediately. Video editors such as Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve can import MOD footage, and our MOD to MP4 converter makes old camcorder recordings easy to share.

3GPP (3GP) is a multimedia container format designed for third generation (3G) universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) networks, which is a global system for mobile (GSM) standard. Since UMTS is a technology for mobile, the 3GP format allows mobile phones on UMTS networks to capture, save, deliver, and play media over high-speed wireless connections.
The best application for opening 3GP is Apple QuickTime. And although 3GP is designed for mobile, the file format opens easily on most operating systems, including Linux, Mac, and Windows.
3GP is a flexible file format that supports captions and subtitles via 3GPP Timed Text. It does not support interactive menus, but it is compatible with free third-party tools that provide such support. One example is AutoGK. To improve the quality of the video while viewing off-mobile, convert the file to MP4.
