so I fooled around online for awhile and found canons video plug in for the 7d and 5d etc. and then i followed instructions to change the coding to allow the t2i (550D) to work as well. unfortunately i still cannot get it to work. when i try to log and transfer my files i get the error message:

"100CANON" has invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches the supported media.


according to the blogs i have been reading this should not be happening. does anyone have any solutions to this?

sorry, premature posting, read the bottom about not using text edit, it will give you a link to download text wrangler.

i used textedit at first and then realized it wasnt working, so i went back and deleted the plug in, re downloaded it and edited it using text wrangler with still no success. this sucks.

are you trying to log and transfer .mov files that are already on your computer?

i have them on a hard drive, in addition to a SD and neither seem to be working. I know i got all the text wrangler coding right, so maybe i just restart my mac and see if it works??

No, it shouldnt matter if you have images on the card, try uninstalling everything and then go through the process again and restart your computer and just shoot some b-roll on the card.
