Audio-stream extraction: how MOD becomes FLAC
Converter.now selects the audio stream in MOD, leaves the picture stream out, and encodes that sound as FLAC. The result is audio, not a silent copy of the video. MOD tracker content combines sample instruments with pattern rows, effect commands, order lists, and replay timing that must be rendered by a module engine. FLAC output losslessly codes decoded samples and supports rich comments, yet it cannot reconstruct fidelity already removed by a lossy source codec.
Decoded from a camcorder recording format commonly storing MPEG-2 program-stream video under a MOD extension. Encoded to losslessly compressed audio that preserves decoded samples and supports rich tags.

What the MOD source carries and the FLAC output demands
What can fail when MOD video container is interpreted
Pixel aspect ratio, interlacing, companion metadata, and recording timestamps may be interpreted incorrectly when renamed.
What Free Lossless Audio Codec cannot safely promise
FLAC does not make a lossy source lossless again, and some basic players reject less common sample rates or channel layouts.
How the FLAC writer handles this route
The verified FLAC profile uses lossless compression level 8; it preserves decoded samples rather than source codec data.
Checking the FLAC result before you trust it
Record the MOD evidence before conversion
Inspect display aspect ratio, field order, frame rate, date metadata, duration, audio sync, and full-motion playback.
Test the FLAC file in its receiving workflow
Compare duration, sample rate, channels, peak levels, and tags with the decoded source.
The delivery decision for this MOD to FLAC route
Choose this route to deliver dialogue, music, or a soundtrack to a system that accepts FLAC; keep MOD when its pictures, captions, or visual timing still matter.
What changes between the MOD model and the FLAC deliverable
- The source stores a camcorder recording format commonly storing MPEG-2 program-stream video under a MOD extension; the destination stores losslessly compressed audio that preserves decoded samples and supports rich tags. Compare application metadata after that structural change.
- MOD and FLAC use different metadata conventions, so application-specific fields should be treated as optional until verified.
