A: Both applications work to HD camcorder videos, and deinterlace 1080i MOD videos for playback on PC. Both applications support 1080p, 1080i MOD videos, help you take still image from the recorded videos.

The differences: 1. Final Mate works with other camcorder videos like .mts, .m2ts and .tod, while MOD Converter does only support MOD input. 2. Final Mate detects camcorder captures videos from camcorder. With Aunsoft MOD Converter, you need to find the .mod files under SD_VIDEO folder > PRGXXX manually. 3. Final Mate utilizes NVIDIA CUDA graphic card and Intel CPU for fast conversion speed and optimizes the workflow for non-linear editing software. 4. You can merge/join .mts files, .m2ts files, .tod files, .mod files without recoding or quality loss using Final Mate, while the joining process in MOD Converter requires recoding and takes longer time for output video. 5. With Final Mate, you can drag and drop on timeline to arrange video sequence, joining and cutting. 6. For users who want to add watermark to video, MOD Converter is the better one, as Final Mate version 1.5 does not include the option to add custom logo/watermark.
