these days, we also have google, which solves such problems. :)
AVI - Audio Video something. makes sense. Hmm. Interleave. it's ok.
SD - Secure Digital. digital chip, lets you store files and, if desired, use shitty DRM (hence the secure). SDHC is an extension that supports chips larger than 2G (hence HC - High Capacity).
MOD I'm not familiar with. Turns out that JVC uses that on its cameras for .MPG files. ok.
VOB is the file extension for Video OBjects on a DVD. It's a specific file format.
Of course, these are all things that didn't exist back in the days of DR-DOS, but I wouldn't say the acronyms mean nothing, except for MOD. (MODs, of course, used to be downloadable music files for software or hardware sequencers).
