DocumentRevisions-V100: Permission denied find.
If you omit this from the command you may see a lot of permission denied errors like so (which will muddy up our results): find. MOD extensionĢ> /dev/null squelches any output from the find command that is an error. – name “*.MOD” tells the find command that we want it to print out all files that have the. type f is a flag that tells the find command that it is only looking for files (not directories) Volumes/My\ Drobo/ this is the path to the directory that I want to search inside of, merely dragging a directory from a Finder window into the Terminal window will auto populate the directory’s path. Let me break this down for those of you that don’t understand what this does:įind is a command that searches your files/folders (you can think of this as a terminal version of spotlight, but much more powerful) So I opened up terminal (cmd + space and then type: “Terminal” and then press Enter) and ran this command: find /Volumes/My\ Drobo/ -type f -name "*.MOD" 2> /dev/null But working with a 10 year old machine is aggravating to say the least. Also, I had no idea how MOD files I even had lying around. I did this for some time on my Windows XP machine with JVC’s Power Director software. One way to convert MOD files into another more popular format is to use software that recognizes the file format and then merely export them one by one. Anyways, enough touting the problems of MOD and onto replacing it! Finding MOD Files
My biggest grievance (beside lack of software support) is that for some reason the MOD files produced by my camcorder were at least 3 times larger than they needed to be due to creating the video file with overzealous quality attributes (despite having a modest quality setting set on the camcorder). There is an in depth explanation with some issues with MOD files in this article. I own a JVC Everio GZ-MG37U, which is one, if not, the first camcorder to feature an internal hard disk drive for media storage. There are pros and cons to being an early adopter, but a definite con with this purchase was that this camcorder produced a non-popular file video file container format: MOD.
