.tod files are .mpg so a rename works without need for conversion with FFMPEG.

But your blender version needs FFMPEG compiled in and it hasn’t by the sounds of it.

Did you search BA, you’d find the same question asked many times and probably resolve your problem ‘quicker’ than waiting for an answer. :slight_smile:

Download MPEG Streamclip and convert it into a non-mpeg format, like a Quicktime movie with a Photo-Jpeg compression.
