MOD at a glance

MOD

MOD appeared with JVC's first Everio hard-disk camcorders around 2003, recording standard-definition MPEG-2 video in program stream containers as a pragmatic bridge between the DV tape era and later AVCHD adoption.

NEF at a glance

NEF

NEF spans the long Nikon digital-camera era, from early DSLRs through modern mirrorless bodies, which is why its compatibility history matters so much in archive and editing workflows.
