MOD Playback Problem

If you have trouble in rendering MOD files on your currently used video player, like Windows Media Player, there are other available video players able to play MOD files, like VLC Media Player, MPlayer, etc. Check out here for more choices available. If you insist to use the existing media player that fails playing MOD files, then converting MOD to another compatible format for your media player is helpful.
