Creating folders for videos

Hello,

I'm new to the Apple world. I bought an iPad when the HD version was released on the 16th. I chose this over the Droid tablet. I have about 60 videos that I need on my iPad but I want to create folders for them. I can sync the videos to the device but cannot figure out how to create folders for them. I found a few links, but the instructions do not work with ios 5.1. Thanks in advance for your help! (BTW I'm using a Windows 7 PC with iTunes)

Thanks!!

iPad, iOS 5.1, iPad HD

If you want to create folders on your iPad, read the procedure as explained in the iPad User Guide:

It's not the folders on the home page the poster is referring to.

As stated, the directory structure on iOS is not exposed. You can't access or create folders in it, only within the context of certain apps.

Fair enough, I understood he was referring to the iPad.

If you use 3rd party Apps, you can arrange your videos in folders e.g. OPlayer HD.

Thanks for all of the replies!! I tried the OPlayerHD.. it works, but the interface isn't that good. I'm now using an app called AVPlayerHD. It works great!! I now have folders & sub folders to work with.
