user5624: I need to know the name of the codec?
They have the file extension of .mov  but i need to know what codec that is.
What is the video codec name of videos made through the Canon 600d DSLR?

user5614: I can just copy my answer from the comment:
Canon SLRs encode video using h.264 - use of Magic Lantern will give you control over the bitrate which is not available by default.
The standard Canon codec is available on any spec sheet for Canon cameras - such as the 700D or 5D MK III (my 5D MK II also uses h.264)
Go to Specifications -> file type for the codec information.

user5569: All Canon DSLRs, including 600D use the same video codec: 

Codec: MPEG-4 Part 10 / AVC / H.264
Profile: Baseline
Level: 5.0
Bitrate mode: CBR ± 40 Mbit/s maximum average
PAL: 1080p25, 1080p24, 720p50, 480p50
NTSC: 1080p30, 1080p24, 720p60, 480p60 
Colorspace: 8-bit YUV 4:2:0 Rec. 709

Many of the higher-end models have an additional All-I mode:

Profile: High (without CABAC)
Level: 5.1
Bitrate mode: VBR ± 100 Mbit/s maximum average
