Jim, Didn't know your computer was that new, no need for any utility work.
I wish you had the USB cable that came with the Canon, to see if you could just plug the camera into the computer and now worry about your card reader. You got them in iPhoto so good. I have NO idea why you would have a jpg of a video, never had that so I guess you could just delete the picture. The video's are in IPhoto for you to view but they are stored under the "Movies" folder and not inside the iPhoto library. To use the movie in another application go to your movie folder and there you will find it and they don't have to be exported, they are already there. I am not sure about burning a movie from iPhoto, I have never tried that, rather I "share" it with iDVD and then burn the movie from there. It sure may be possible to burn a movie directly from iPhoto I have just never tried it. Also, some items don't work well unless you have Quicktime PRO version on your machine, so you may need to go to Apple and purchase the Pro version, they would send you the serial number in an email which you would then enter in Quicktime to make it become a "Pro" version. Be sure and save this number for if you ever have to reinstall the OS this will be lost and you'll need to reenter. I have done ALL that you are attempting, twice in the last two days so I know it works. (I didn't burn a DVD but I made a movie that I had to show to a repair man to let him see what was going on).
