You have a JVC everio HDD cam and it forces you to work with these proprietary .MOD files, which limits you to bring into media players or video editing suites for playback or edit.
So you probably need to convert JVC mod files into some more plain formats like avi,wmv,mpg,mpeg,mov,mp4,then you can use in windows media suites or apple imovie, iTunes, quicktime, FCE/FCP, iPod/iPhone/appleTV,etc. There is an excellent mod converter for mac that can serve your purpose.
