Is it in any way possible to preview the 5d2 h.264 files on my mac, without copying them to the harddrive, but from the CF card itself?

I can't seem to get the camera to mount as a drive on my MBP with 10.5.6.

Have you considered using a card reader?

You have got the question right.

Sure, I just wondered if there was an option to preview the videos with the camera connected in usb port (maybe through some of the software included). Seems like that was a stupid question.

Have you tried EOS Utility? It comes with the camera.

Yes, it played around with it yesterday, couldn't find that feature, but I'll look again. Thanks
