Video Inspector http://www.kcsoftwares.com/index.php?download
(donate ware) shows the codec as IBM Motion JPEG. Although it tells
me it isn't installed the video plays fine in WMP10, BSPlayer and Nero
Showtime. NeroMediaPlayer shows the mjpeg codec as missing though.
Video Inspector provides links for missing video and audio codecs.
One would think that since the OP installed the Canon software
that it would have installed the needed codec at the same time.
