Switch on your JVC camcorder and adjust it to "Play" or VCR mode, then have its cable attached to your computer. Locate the JVC .MOD files and copy them and paste to hard drive on you computer.

How do i play JVC MOD files, get free JVC Mod Player software to play JVC mod format.
If you just want to play back .MOD video files on your Computer simply rename them to .MPEG or .MV2 and you should have no problem in opening and viewing your video clips in VLC or MPlayer.
Rename the extension on the JVC MOD file from .MOD to .MPEG. may not work sometimes.

In some cases, the video will play but the sound will not, or vice versa. Sometimes the player will inform you that you need codecs in order to view the file, so get a JVC mod file software that can convert .MOD files.
