Thanks for the update Cat! On the video issue, I think your movies must be in the format Canon is producing. AVI by nature just is a so-called container format, there can be a variety of formats in there (like MPEG-4, MPEG-2, H.264, DivX etc. etc). Canon uses the somewhat exotic Motion JPEG (MJPeg for short) format (file extension .MVI). The file extension MOV is used by QuickTime, dunno how well it copes with that. Your best bet may be to convert to MJPEG.

Canon Japan released DPP 3.6 today - though not yet available as an update it can be downloaded here (note: this does not update but installs as a complete release!). I haven't checked every detail yet, but at first sight it now offers highlight and shadow recovery functionality. Now if only Canon would allow for free rotation...

BTW, there is a third party programmer working on adding free rotation to DPP, read more here (note: download and use at your own risk!).

does anyone on a mac have constant issues with the program just freezing then quitting when you try to do too much at once
i have found this has been an issue since i swapped to mac 18mnths ago
