TOD File Format

The .TOD file format was created by JVC, to be used by their high-definition camcorder range (I.E JVC Everio).

TOD Playback Issue

When you need to playback, import or edit TOD video files generated by your JVC Ejverio video camera, you may find it a little difficlut since many media players and editing software doesn't support TOD format. Recent versions of video-editing programs may be able to import and edit TOD files are Adobe Flash Professional CC, CyberLink PowerDirector 12 Ultra, Sony Vegas Pro 13, iMovie 10. Anyway, there can be limitations even those program claims to play TOD. And what if you don't want to change your existing video editing program but it can't play TOD files, like Windows Movie Maker? In this case, you are suggested to convert TOD, for instance, convert TOD to WMV for Windows Movie Maker.
