How do you have the camera attached to your computer (USB, composite)? Do you have the camera plugged-in to a power source?

I have 4 Canon cameras and never used the Canon software, EVER. I plug the camera in to power(required), and when my computer recognises my camera, I browse to it, just like it's any other hard-drive, and get the files that way. Cut/copy and paste.

EDIT: You only need the power cord if you have your media files on the camera drive, rather than memory card.
