I think I found where this file format came from:
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=34&topicid=25405
It is an output format used on Apple computers and the Video Editor Final Cut Pro.
This is NOT the original file from the Canon Camera. It is edited in Final Cut Pro. If your friend is going to share video with you, he must output a file format that Windows Computers can read.
I can view this file in VLC player, Powerdirector does what you said, White screen with some audio.
In VLC, this video has a lot of interlacing artifacts.
I can not view this file in the latest version of Quicktime, it does not have the correct Codec.
I can not view this file in Windows Media Player, I do not have the right codec and I have both 32 bit and 64 bit K-Lite.
The codec ID is hdv3, as shown by MediaInfo.
Attached the MediaInfo text file on this video.
Canon cameras output a H.264 format file with the .mts extension.
