Looks like the quotes around Custom are not standard ". Maybe, you wrote the file in a word processor rather than a plain editor.

Okay thanks to this thread ans some help from support I have managed to successfully recover 150G of deleted video files from a 16G card (!)

If anyone else has this problem the working xml file should be :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FileTypeList version="2.0">
<FileType id="5627" group="Custom" description="Canon5DMKII HD Video" features="" extension="MOV">
<Begin combine="OR">
<Signature>\x00\x00\x00\x18\x66\x74\x79\x70\x71\x74\x20\x20\x20\x07\x09\x00</Signature>
</Begin>
<End combine="OR">
<Signature offset="17" from="end" count="1">\x56\x43\x61\x6E\x6F\x6E\x41\x56\x43\x30\x30\x30\x31\x00\x00\x00\x00</Signature>
</End>
</FileType>
</FileTypeList>

Load this as your user file type and you will be good to go.

Total lifesaver, thanks.
