converting mod files to mp4 then onto final cut pro

[lyrapirate]

After converting my mod file to mp4 then uploading it to final cut pro the quality is really bad and jumpy.
I used MPEG streamclip... The quality is good after the mod - mp4 conversion it's only after i import it to final cut pro that the quality becomes really bad.
I don't have this problem when i am importing other files just the mod-mp4 converted ones. any suggestions?

What settings do you use in transcoding the .mod to .mp4 (what application?) and .mp4 to .mov and what codecs for video and audio do you use? What FCP sequence settings do you use?

And where do these .mod files come from?

Btw, FCP does not give you a 100% preview in the Canvas window.
