side issue for FCP people, making canon D5 m2 generate color bars

One challenge I have not been able to master is calibrating a monitor from the camera.  The camera doesn't generate color bars, but in theory one could get a video of bars from a DVD or some such source and place it onto the Compact flash card from a computer/ card reader, and then play back that file thru the camera to the monitor.  Here is a discussion about some of that topic....

I'm not even sure if you can put a jpeg back onto a CF card and get that to play, much less a .mov clip but I don't know enough to know why it's hard.  I should have paid more attention in video school.....
