Never mind, I just found this:

"Are those 0-byte video files larger than 4GB? If so, the PTP protocol
can't deal with those. You need a card reader or try to wifi/cloud them
off the camera."

I think it is a pretty terrible protocol that silently discards data
without error.

OK, so it looks like Canon now has an "open" CCAPI protocol, that this
software supports:

https://dphacks.com/how-to-canon-camera-control-api-ccapi/

But it is disabled by default. To enable it you need to run Windows
software. But this requires registration to download. But you cannot
register from Australia. WTF!!!

There is an Australia link in the page above, but it is for EDSK, the
older proprietary protocol, not CCAPI.

I might have to invest in a card reader.
