NAAAA all of my years I have never had a ccd open up where you got no picture at all!! Most of the times its a small line or discoloration or a pixle or a group of pixles out. The most common problems with a camcorder that has no picture on the camera is a stuck shutter or iris. you can turn on the camcorder and tap on the lens around the middle and sometimes it will open up. now if this fails then you have failed capacitors in the camera section and most of the time it dosent pay to repair as the entire board has toi be replaced. sorry windman sorry silly girl.
SOURCE: not recording
From the instruction manual from Canon for the XL1S (I have the same problem):
When mosaic-like noise appears on the playback picture, the video heads
may be dirty. When the video heads are badly contaminated, the camera
may show a blank blue screen.
• For the best picture possible, after using the camera for approximately
20 hours, clean the video heads using Canon’s DVM-CL Digital Video
Head Cleaning Cassette. If the “noise”remains, repeat the cleaning (up
to maximum of 5 times).
• Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette, as this can cause damage.

I have Vista. I used a free download "DVD Decrypter" and it converted the files. I then just used Window's Media to view them.

I looked into to this it is the ccd and Canon will fix it for free (shipping included), as stated below. I have copied what has helped me!
It has recently come to our attention that the vendor-supplied CCD image sensor used in this Canon digital camera may cause the following malfunction: When the product is used in recording or playback mode, the LCD screen and/or electronic viewfinder may exhibit either a distorted image or no image at all. While reports of this malfunction have been rare in the United States, we have determined that it may occur if the product is exposed to hot and humid environments.
Effective immediately, and regardless of warranty status, Canon will repair, free of charge, products exhibiting the above-mentioned malfunction if the malfunction is caused by the CCD image sensor. Canon will also cover the cost of shipping and handling in connection with this repair.
