"Prism Video Converter" is free and has the abililty to convert .mod files to mpeg or avi etc. - something that "Express Burn" can convert to be able to watch on a DVD player.
Now I have a problem with the CPU usage going straight to 100%. I have 1GIG of ram, is that not enough to run this program?
Hi,
No thats enough. But the more power you have, the more it will use. (more cpu usage = faster conversions)
If your cpu is dual core then you will still be able to use other apps and continue working happily.
If you have a single core process without hyperthreading, you will still be able to do other things, but it may struggle a little.
(we could make Prism use less CPU but that would mean slower conversions. I'm using a 3.4ghz dual core with 2 gigs of ram and I hit 96-100% also)
It is interesting though that Express burn couldn't convert the file on its own.
Did you try using the ffmpeg option in file -> options?
It will download a component called ffmpeg that it will use for the decoding. (basically if you have any trouble converting anything, the ffmpeg component will usually work when others fail)
Thankyou
