USB cable transfer problems with Canon S80

I'm having an odd recurring issue -- I have a 609MB movie on a 1GB SD
card in my Canon S80, and it won't drag into any folders when I plug
the camera into the computer. Or rather, it drags, but results only in
a 0MB "ghost file." It's not a drive space issue, either -- I have
plenty of room. I don't have a card reader handy at the moment or I'd
just try that route, but was wondering in the meantime if anyone else
has had this problem, and if you have learned why it happens.

No, but that's because I don't use a system that tries to move the
file from the camera to the computer - I use card readers exclusively.
And I recommend card readers over trying to go directly from the
camera in all cases.
