I am trying to move a file from a JVC camcorder to my Mac. However I get 'The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in the xxx.mod can't be read or written. (Error code -36).
I have tried dot_clean plus the directory path and this completes but still does not allow me to copy the file. Any other suggestions?
iMac 27″, macOS 12.5
I actually downloaded VLC software and played the .MOD file which got stuck 75% of the way through (probably the problem), however there is a feature in VLC to record the image you are viewing and it will create an .mpg file. For some reason when I recorded it playing it did not get stuck, maybe a minor hesitation and then played to completion. The .mpg file was saved to my movies folder so all good - if by accident.

What file is this?
You could try importing via Image Capture.
What about iMovie? Would it be able to import this one?
Would work for photos, but this is a movie and I could only see photos on the device via mage capture. Thanks
