My Friend Brandon was shooting Video on his Rebel T5 at a event and when he tried to import the footage into Adobe Premier, it was CR2 image files that were not readable. He previewed the videos in camera but after trying to import the footage, the videos are not readable in the camera. The files appear to be CR2 image files but they are the size of video files 240+ Megs . He gave me the card to help him figure this problem out. I have tried opening in every program with no success. Any Idea what happened? is it possible to save the video footage?

Is it possible that you or Brandon inadvertently renamed the files? See if DPP will read them as RAW files. If not, try renaming one of them to the type of a video file and see if that solves your problem.

He does know that you don't use the shutter button to start and stop movies, right? You set the camera to movie mode and press the live view button.

Sorry, but this is hard to believe. Did you try to change the extension back to mov on the 240MB file - which sounds pretty small for a movie.
