[FFmpeg-user] Libraries missing?

Hi there, Michelle.

The root of the problem for you is that your operating system rightly
identifies a .MOD file as a MOD-TRACKER file, which I remember playing
around on with an 8086 somewhere in the 1990's.

Using your file in the example , this works:

ffplay -f mpeg -i MOV015.MOD
--------------------------------------------------------
Input #0, mpeg, from 'MOV015.MOD': 0KB vq=    0KB sq=    0B f=0/0
  Duration: 00:05:18.24, start: 0.227389, bitrate: 9294 kb/s
    Stream #0:0[0x1e0]: Video: mpeg2video (Main), yuv420p(tv, top first),
720x576 [SAR 64:45 DAR 16:9], 25 fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc
    Stream #0:1[0x80]: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 256 kb/s
   5.97 A-V: -0.041 fd=   7 aq=   34KB vq= 1285KB sq=    0B f=0/0
---------------------------------------------------------
>From that, the video is definitely mpeg2video stream.

The simplest option for you is to rename the .MOD files to have a .mpg
extention and kdenlive can edit them directly with no loss of quality
through transcoding.
I have tested this on my system with the latest Kdenlive release, and it
works just fine with the renamed file.

You may also be able to tell the operating system to interpret the .MOD
files as video files, but this involves tinkering with the insides of a
system that is best not tinkered with unless you want to learn some very
deep and very limited-use knowledge.

Kind regards,
Evert
