Canon 550D - Manual (Page 160)

Basically, there are the following three ways to playback the movies you
shot.
Use the provided AV cable or an HDMI
Cable HTC-100 (sold separately) to
connect the camera to a TV set. Then
you can playback the captured movies
and photos on the TV.
If you have a High-Definition TV set and
connect your camera with an HDMI
cable, you can watch Full HD (Full High-
Definition: 1920x1080) and HD (High-
Definition: 1280x720) movies with higher
image quality.
You can playback movies on the
camera’s LCD monitor and even edit out
the first and last scenes. You can also
playback photos and movies recorded in
the card as an automatic slide show.

Playback on the Camera’s LCD Monitor
(p.162-166)
Movies on a card can be played only by devices which can play MOV
files.
Since hard disk recorders do not have an HDMI IN terminal, the camera
cannot be connected with an HDMI cable.
Even if the camera is connected to a hard disk recorder with a USB
cable, movies and photos cannot be played nor saved.
A movie edited with a personal computer cannot be rewritten to the card and
played back with the camera.
