Canon T1i/500d video Onto Computer?

How can I put the videos from the Canon Rebel T1i onto my computer? I tried drag & dropping them, but it doesn't work.

you are using a CF card reader and not using the supplied usb to camera cable correct?

nope. I'm using a cable that connects my camera to my computer.

If your computer recognizes your camera, then simply click on it, it will bring up some DCIM folder, then go into there and search around till you find your video files. I believe they will be in the same folder as your images. Then drag them over. That's assuming you're using Windows Explorer. I used to have a T1i and that's how I did it.

I use my built in sd card reader on all my pc's laptop and desktops i have no problem come right up as soon i open the folder drag and drop. I have no problems, views fine on pc's and goes to youtueb no problems either. Sound like a PC problem for you.

YUP.. i remove my sd card and put it in the built in card reader,.. then just cut and paste it to the preferred folder

I use the cable and drag/drop or copy/paste on my PC. No problems at all.

I figured it out
I have to use the "EOS Utilities" CD that my camera came with
