In the following guide I would like to share with you some tricks of converting MOD files on Mac computer for iDVD authoring and burning a DVD.

Step 1. Run Brorsoft MOD Converter for Mac. Click ‘Add’ button, browse to the footages and load them to the mod converter.

Step2. Select the items to be converted, and click on ‘Format’ bar and select Common Video->MPEG2 Video (*.mpg) in the pull-down list. You are not recommended to choose the HD formats, as I mentioned above, the Full HD is for blu-ray disc, not standard DVD.

Step 3. Now you can further adjust the advanced video and audio parameters. Basically the footages are 1080p (1920*1080) or 720p (1280*720). If you would like to keep the original 16:9 aspect ratio (I believe you do, no one would prefer stretched image), make sure you set correct video size. Click the ‘Settings’ button to adjust the advance parameters. The following settings are for your reference.
Video: mpeg2video, 960*540p, 9800kbps, 29.97fps
Audio: mp2, 44.1khz, 128mbps, 6 channels

Step 4. Click the ‘Browse’ button next to the Export to field and select a location on your HDD for the output video file.

Step 5. Click the ‘Convert’ button to start MAC MOD to DVD Conversion. After conversion, import the converted files to iDVD for further authoring and burning.. When authoring DVD, using the provided templates makes authoring quick and easy. See how to author DVD using iDVD.
