The Easiest Way to Make an Online Player with MSN Video Style
As I often visit MSN Video to watch the latest news, entertainment and TV clips these days, an idea struck me: How to make an online player with "MSN video" style? After the whole evening’s searching for relevant information and different trials, I can now make exactly the same MSN videos easily (Note: Not the same video content but the same video user interface). I would like to share with you guys how I make it.
Well, videos vary from one site to another, but the embedded player can be the same or similar. Perhaps you are excellent enough to program the codes of the embedded player, but I didn’t. I tried to google such information whether there is such tool that can help to generate web videos directly and I did.
It must be said, even though I have written this with a specific application in mind, I think there are many out there. The one I have used here, Socusoft Web Video Player is OK as it can generate exactly the same user interface of MSN videos. Anyway, please do experiment with different players. I would like to hear of other ones you have used and your experiences with them and you may report back here in the comments.

How to import .mod files into FCE
Welcome to this free guide series, this time we are going to discuss how to import .mod files into FCE (Final Cut Express).
Need to play back and edit .MOD video files with FCE? If you have just got a new camcorder and are killing yourself to understand how to read, convert and import .MOD video files into FCE (Final Cut Express), I think I have got some solutions for you.
After long time working with JVC Everio, I decided to get myself a new small little jewel of a camcorder on my birthday last month, the Canon FS-100. the Canon FS and HF series, alongside some other existing video cameras, including the JVC Everio I mentioned above, and the Panasonic D-Snap SD-card camcorders, suffer from a frustrating disease: difficult to import .MOD into FCE and incompatible .MOD files with many video editing tools.
The Canon FS, JVC Everio and Panasonic D-snap series creates video files with a .MOD extension. MOD video files are nothing but MPEG-2 files with AC3 audio. Apparently, and I have tested this out personally, .MOD files can be easily renamed into .AVI or .MPG files and can then be read easily by most video editing or playback tools.
FCE (Final Cut Express) is designed as a capable non-linear editing system for people who are working with one of the three popular consumer video formats, DV, HDV, and AVCHD. Final Cut Express also allows importing video files compatible with iMovie 08.
Although both AVI and MPG are popular windows formats, they are just not as popular as QuickTime .mov on Mac. Simply rename .mod into .avi or .mpg makes no difference if you want to import mod files to FCE, it just can¡¯t work. Arriving at this point, according to experience, the most practical way is to convert .mod to .DV, MPEG-4 or MOV file that compatible with both FCE and iMovie.

I have taken the time to put together this simple mini-guide on how to import .MOD files into FCE, or import .MOD to standard compatible video files that can be read and edited by Final Cut Express.
To resolve this situation, here is what you need to do:Mac users will need in fact to purchase, albeit at a small price, something that will allow them to read properly native MPEG-2 video files. I have a great solution on this front after many comparison and test.
Mac users can take advantage of Video Converter for Mac software which will convert the original .MOD files to just about any video file format you may want.

Besides that, you can also take still images form MOD video clips using video converter for Mac.
