Best solution for making MOD file compatible with Mac

The MOD video file format is used by many standard definition hard-drive and solid-state camcorders. These camcorders create several files, but the actual video and audio streams are stored in files which have the filename suffix ".MOD"

MOD and TOD are informal names of tapeless video formats used by JVC (MOD and TOD), Panasonic (MOD only) and Canon (MOD only) in some models of digital camcorders.
